To determine whether miR-200b-3p was responsible for the effects of c-Myc on CRC progression, we established SW480/c-Myc cells stably expressing c-Myc and SW480/c-Myc + miR cells stably co-expressing c-Myc and miR-200b-3p (Additional file 2: Figure S2d). Here, MYC is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
