In a different cancer type, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), PMV-mediated transfer of miR-223 promoted tumor invasiveness of human lung cancer cells (A549) by targeting the cytoskeletal protein erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1-like 3 (EPB41L3) (Liang et al., 2015). This evidence concerns the gene EPB41L3 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
