The effects of miR-488 on invasion and related molecules in TSCC cells. TCA8113 cells were transfected with miR-488 mimic or inhibitor for 48 h. a Invasion was assessed using a transwell assay. b The protein expressions of MMP-2, MMP-7, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were determined using western blot and ELISA assays. All data are presented as means ± SEM, n = 6. ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01, ^###p < 0.001 vs. miR-NC
