To explore the molecular determinants of the effects of miR-378a-3p restoration in vivo, MALAT1 and NEAT1 expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR in CRC-SC#18 LUC-GFP TRIPZ or LUC-GFP TRIPZ-miR-378 retrieved by fluorescent-activated cell sorting from liver tumor xenografts. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and colorectal carcinoma.
