Consistent with the proposed regulation of BATF3 and CRC cell proliferation by miR-760, expression patterns of BATF3 and Ki67 in SW620-miR-760 tumors were similar to the in vitro results, supporting the tumor suppressor function of miR-760 in CRC tumorigenesis (Fig. 6d, 6d). This evidence concerns the gene BATF3 and neoplasm.
