The association between miR-100 and EMT markers was further validated in human tumors: from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) breast cancer data [17], we observed a moderate but significant inverse correlation between miR-100 and E-cadherin expression levels (Rs = −0.1, P = 0.006, Figure 1F) and a highly significant positive correlation between miR-100 and vimentin expression levels (Rs = 0.43, P<2×10−16, Figure 1G). Here, VIM is linked to breast cancer.
