LDHA and breast cancer: Although a minimal statistical difference was found between TS CSC subpopulation and TR non CSC subpopulation from breast cancer cells (Fig. 2A), hsa-miR-24c-3p showed more stability than SNORD44, U6 and rRNA5s, when were analyzed by Bestkeeper, NormFinder and comparative ΔCt methods, contrasting ALDH+ with ALDH− subpopulations and TS with TR subpopulations, in both colon and breast cancer cells respectively (Fig. 2B).
