Indeed, mature miR-203 transfection decreased the expression of NUAK1 in EMT-induced HNSCC cells (KOSCC25B, SpSCC, and HOC313) (Figure 5B), and NUAK1 was downregulated in pre-miR-203-infected MSCC-inv1 cells (Figure 3D). The gene discussed is NUAK1; the disease is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
