MicroRNA (miRNA) clusters are expressed universally across different types of organisms, and an accumulating number of studies have demonstrated that miRNA clusters function more efficiently compared with single miRNAs during the development of certain cancer types. miRNA clusters may have increased stability and reliability over individual miRNAs as diagnostic or therapeutic biomarkers. In the present study, the expression levels of mature miRNAs within the miR-144/451 cluster were examined using stem-loop reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction in 102 patients pathologically diagnosed with esophageal carcinoma. Bioinformatics tools were used to identify a possible miRNA-mediated network of the miR-144/451 cluster. The expression levels of hsa-miR-451a, hsa-miR-144-3p and hsa-miR-144-5p in tumor tissues were significantly lower compared with those in adjacent non-tumor tissues (P
