The expression of EMT-related proteins was further analyzed, and results showed that miR-186 mimic significantly promoted the protein expression of E-cadherin, reduced the protein expression of N-cadherin and vimentin, and inhibited the EMT of NPC cells compared with the NC group (p < 0.01, Fig. 2G and H). Here, CDH1 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
