As hsa-miR-1249-3p resulted herein as differentially expressed across epithelial and cancer cell lines and CIN tissues, the expression levels of HOXA13 transcript were afterwards evaluated in human epithelial cell lines HaCaT and NCTC and in cervical cancer cell lines HeLa, SiHa and CasKi by ddPCR, as well as in uterine cervical (n = 5) and CIN (n = 30) tissues. This evidence concerns the gene HOXA13 and cervical carcinoma.
