Figure 6. Identification of miRNAs commonly dysregulated in both EAC and GC.

The expression levels of the 2 miRNAs (miR-21, and miR-133b) were measured by means of qRT-PCR in 13 BE, 34 EAC, 45 NG, and 33 GC tissue samples. The FC of expression relative to miR-191 is shown using box-and-whisker plots. The horizontal line represents the median value. Data were graphed as a range from 5^th to 95^th percentile. Student’s t-test was used for statistical analysis. A p value ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.
