Finally, we analyzed the effect on NSCLC cell morphology and determined that introduction of miR-151a resistant E-cadherin into miR-151a over-expressing cells, partially rescued the effect of miR-151a, as the transition into a mesenchymal-like phenotype was greatly reduced (Figure 7d, ** P=0.0094). This evidence concerns the gene CDH1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
