Purpose: To investigate the effects of microRNA-210 (miRNA- 210) on the biological behaviors (proliferation and invasion) of EC109 cells of highly metastatic human esophageal cancer (EC).
Methods: The EC109 genomic DNA of human EC was used as a template to amplify the precursor sequence of miRNA-210 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The precursor sequence of miRNA-210 was sub-cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.
