MKI67 and neoplasm: Ki67 and Caspase-3 mRNA levels in tumor tissues were detected by RT-qPCR, and it was found that after down-regulating DDX11-AS1 or up-regulating miR-34a-3p, Ki67 expression was decreased while Caspase-3 expression was increased in tumor tissues (Additional file 1: Figure S1A, B).
