Cervical cancer cells express higher level of miR-150. a miR-150 expression was measured in cervical carcinoma and para-carcinoma tissues from the patients (n = 10) by RT-PCR. The miR-150 expression in cervical carcinoma tissue normalized to that in paired para-carcinoma tissues is presented by a histogram. b miR-150 expression in cervical tissue from healthy donors (normal, n = 13) or in cervical carcinoma tissue from patients (n = 108) was determined by RT-PCR and the relative miR-150 expression is presented after normalization to healthy donors. c The miR-150 expression in cervical tissue from healthy donors (n = 13) or in cervical carcinoma tissue from 62 patients at different stages (23 at grade II, 19 at grade III, 20 at grade IV), as well as in a human cervical carcinoma cell line C-33A, was evaluated by RT-PCR
