Figure 2.
Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of miR-10a expression levels in the tumor samples and non-cancerous mucosa of the esophagus. The expression levels significantly decreased in high-grade intraepithelial neoplasms (HGIN) and tended to be low in non-invasive ESCC (carcinoma in situ, CIS), despite the results being insignificant. No difference was noted in the miR-10a expression levels between the invasive cancer (IC) phenotype and the other groups.
