Fig. 7From: MicroRNA-24 inhibits growth, induces apoptosis, and reverses radioresistance in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma by targeting X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis proteinXIAP expression is upregulated in LSCC cells and tissues and inversely correlated with miR-24 expression. a qRT-PCR detection of XIAP mRNA expression in Hep-2 and AMC-HN-8, and HaCaT cells. GAPDH was used as an internal control. b qRT-PCR detection of XIAP mRNA expression in 15 paired LSCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues. GAPDH was used as an internal control. T: LSCC tissues; N: the adjacent normal tissues. c Statistical analysis reveals an inverse correlation between relative miR-24 and XIAP mRNA expression level in LSCC tissues (n = 15; r = −0.508; P < 0.001). Corresponding P values analyzed by Spearman correlation test are indicated. **P < 0.01 vs controlBack to article page
