miR-99a is correlated with tumor differentiation, liver cirrhosis and patients' outcome in HCC. (a) Relative lower expression of miR-99a preferably observed in HCC tumors from patients with lower tumor differentiation or liver cirrhosis. (b) Kaplan–Meier survival curves of tumor-free survival and overall survival according to relative expression level of miR-99a in primary HCC tissues. The median value of this ratio was chosen as the cutoff point.
