Moreover, the expression of miR-30a-5p was lower in NSCLC cells transfected with the miR-30a-5p inhibitor than in cells transfected with miR-NC (Fig. 4k), In line with the expression of miR-30a-5p, the level of CD73 was downregulated or upregulated, as determined using qRT-PCR and western blot analysis (Fig. 4i–m). The gene discussed is NT5E; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
