Vimentin is a direct target of miR-876-5p in HNSCC. a, b The relative vimentin mRNA and protein expression levels were detected by qRT-PCR and western blot assays. c Immunofluorescence assays were used to analyze vimentin expression in HNSCC cells. Scale bar,50 μm. d MiR-876-5p expression inhibits wild-type but not mutant vimentin 3′-UTR reporter activity. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
