MiR-107 is up-regulated in gastric cancer and associated with tumour metastasis and worse prognosis. (A) The expression level of mature miR-107 in gastric cancer samples or normal control tissues performed with quantitative PCR. A significant difference was detected in the mean value of miR-107 expression between these two groups (P < 0.0001). The same gastric cancer samples were divided into two groups, according to the mean expression of miR-107 (mean = 90.95). Cases with levels of miR-107 below the mean were miR-107 low expressers (n = 25), and those with levels of miR-107 above the mean were miR-107 high expressers (n = 25). (B) Kaplan–Meier survival curve and log-rank test for gastric cancer patients between high and low miR-218 expressers. MiR-107 expression demonstrated a significant relationship with patient survival (log-rank, P = 0.0071).
