miR-346 promotes migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via targeting BRMS1.

The aim of this study is to determine the expression and roles of miR-346 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We showed that miR-346 was upregulated in NPC tissues compared with adjacent non-tumorous nasopharyngeal tissues. Inhibition of miR-346 significantly attenuated the migration and invasion of NPC cells.
