Transiently transfecting mTOR into miR-3188-overexpressing NPC cells (Supplementary Fig. 2A) enhanced cell proliferation by MTT (Fig. 3a) and EdU incorporation assays (Fig. 3b) as well as promoted G1 to S cell-cycle transition (Fig. 3c). The gene discussed is MTOR; the disease is nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
