Upregulation of microRNA (miR)-328 and downregulation of PTPRJ messenger RNA (mRNA) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues.
Notes: (A) miR-328 (HCC vs noncancerous: 3.03±0.89 vs 1.95±0.82, P<0.01) expression level was markedly upregulated in HCC tissues compared to adjacent noncancerous tissues. (B) PTPRJ mRNA (HCC vs noncancerous: 2.57±0.91 vs 3.93±0.82, P<0.01) expression level was markedly downregulated in HCC tissues compared to adjacent noncancerous tissues. (C) Upregulation of miR-328 in HCC tissues was significantly negatively correlated with the downregulation of PTPRJ mRNA in HCC tissues (r=−0.362, P=0.01).
Abbreviation: PTPRJ, protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, J.
