Figure 5.
An inverse correlation between miR-153 and SNAI1 expression is observed in PDAC. (A) A comparison of differences in the expression levels of SNAI1 protein between PDAC tissues and normal pancreas tissues was performed. *P<0.05. (B) A significant inverse correlation between miR-153 and SNAI1 expression was observed in PDAC tissues. Representative immunostaining showed a weak expression of SNAI1 in miR-153 high-expressing PDAC tissue and a strong expression of SNAI1 in miR-153 low-expressing tumor. *P<0.05. Scale bar, 50 µm. PDAC, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
