Figure 1.
miR-27a is upregulated in tumor tissue, serum and adipose tissue of obese liver cancer patients.
Notes: (A) qRT-PCR analysis of miR-27a expression in liver cancer tissue (T) compared with matched ANT from obese patients (n=15) and nonobese patients (n=15). (B) qRT-PCR analysis of miR-27a expression in plasma samples from obese patients (n=15), nonobese patients (n=15), and healthy individuals (controls, n=10). (C) qRT-PCR analysis of miR-27a expression in omental adipose tissue from obese patients (n=15), nonobese patients (n=15), and healthy individuals (controls, n=15). Each bar represents the mean ± SD of three independent experiments.
Abbreviations: qRT-PCR, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; T, tissue; ANT, adjacent normal tissue; SD, standard deviation.
