miR-941 is down-regulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. A, differential expression of miR-941 in 15 pairs of HCC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. B, differential expression of miR-941 in six different HCC cell lines, including QGY-7703, HepG2, Hep3B, SK-Hep-1, PLC-PRF-5, and LM6 compared with a non-cancerous cell (LO2). The relative expression of miR-941 was detected by quantitative RT-PCR. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01). The primers for quantitative RT-PCR are shown in Table 2.
