Meanwhile, the expression of MEG8 was negatively corelated with miR-15a-5p (R2 = 0.547) (Fig. 1d) and miR-15b-5p (R2 = 0.563) (Fig. 1e) in NSCLC patient tissues (n = 37), indicating the potential interplay of MEG8 and miR-15a/b-5p in the NSCLC progression. This evidence concerns the gene MEG8 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
