Figure 2. miR-142-3p is frequently down-regulated in HCC.

(A) miR-142-3p expression in matched non-tumor (NT) and HCC (n = 43) as determined by qPCR. The boxes contain the values between the 25^th and 75^th percentiles, the lines across the boxes indicate the median, and the whiskers extend to the highest values excluding outliers and extremes. (B) Correlation of miR-142-3p expression with HCC patient's cumulative disease-free survival rates, as determined by log-rank test.
