The results showed that miR-196b-5p was negatively correlated with FAS in both lung ADC (R = −0.14, P = 0.0025) and lung SCC (R = −0.29, P = 4.7e-09), suggesting that reduced expression of FAS might be related to the upregulation of miR-196b-5p in NSCLC (Fig. 1e, f). Here, FAS is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
