These data are consistent with that observed in thyroid carcinoma specimens, where the miR-106b data are inversely correlated to the expression of C1orf24. Considering all thyroid carcinoma cell lines had comparable miR-106b expression (Figure 3A) and that WRO and TPC1 cell lines showed the highest expression levels of C1orf24 (Figure 3B), these cell lines were chosen for further in vitro analysis. This evidence concerns the gene NIBAN1 and thyroid gland carcinoma.
