Enriched exosomal microRNA-146a in cervicovaginal lavage specimens of cervical cancer patients. (A) The relative amounts of miR-146a were examined by RT-qPCR in cervicovaginal lavage specimens of the HPV-negative normal subjects (n = 32), the HPV-positive subjects (n = 25), or the cervical cancer patients (n = 45). The lowest expression in the normal (HPV-) group was designated as “1”. All other samples were expressed as a relative value according to the ratio of their Cp value to the Cp value of the designated sample; (BD) The correlation between the miR-146a expression and the level of exosomes was evaluated by RT-qPCR and ELISA; (B) HPV–negative normal group; (C) HPV-positive group; (D) Cervical cancer patient group. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Statistical significance was considered with a p < 0.05 (*) and a p < 0.01 (**).
