miR-18a has been reported to be upregulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tissues by microarray assays. However, the roles and the underlying mechanisms of miR-18a in NPC remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrated by real-time RT-PCR that miR-18a expression is upregulated in NPC tissues, and positively correlated with tumor size and TNM stage. Moreover, miR-18a expression could be upregulated by NF-κB activation or Epstein-Barr virus encoded latent membrane protein 1 expression. The ecto ...[more]
