MiR-501-3p is upregulated while WDR82 is downregulated in LC tissues and cells, and high miR-501-3p expression is associated with a poor prognosis. a miR-501-3p expression in LC patients detected using Starbase; b miR-501-3p expression in LC and adjacent normal tissues detected using RT-qPCR, n = 84; c WDR82 expression in LC and adjacent normal tissues detected using RT-qPCR, n = 84; d correlation analysis between miR-501-3p and WDR82; e the Kaplan–Meier analysis of miR-501-3p in relation to OS rate in LC patients; f miR-501-3p and WDR82 expression in LC cell lines and HBE cells detected using RT-qPCR, N = 3; g/h, WDR82 protein expression in LC cell lines and HBE cells detected using Western blot analysis, N = 3; *P < 0.05 vs the HBE cells; the measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, unpaired t-test was performed for comparisons between two groups, one-way ANOVA was used for comparisons among multiple groups and Tukey’s post hoc test was used for pairwise comparisons after one-way ANOVA
