Fig 2. Laser micro-dissection (LMD) was used to isolate areas of epithelium in normal (A), DCIS (B) and invasive (C) breast tissue from the same tissue section. Breast tissue images show examples of the areas captured for patient 4 as a representative example. The expression of miR–92 decreased during breast cancer progression with highest levels observed in normal breast epithelium, decreasing in DCIS and being lowest in invasive breast tissue (D). *denotes significance of p<0.01.
