RUNX3 and neoplasm: LNK cells transfected with miR-544 mimic significantly led to enlargement of tumor volumes (Fig. 7a; P < 0.05), the enhancement of miR-544 and decrease of NCR1 expression at mRNA levels (Fig. 7b; P < 0.05) and the reduction of NCR1 and RUNX3 protein expression (Fig. 7c; P < 0.05).
