Figure 1. miR-573 level is decreased in human prostate cancer tissues.
A. Quantitation of 20 miRNAs were performed using qRT-PCR in three matched-pairs of primary and metastasis tissues and the results are shown as folds number in metastatic to primary ones. 1–20 represents miR-199, miR-573, miR-505, miR-449, miR-107, miR-23b, miR-22, miR-26b, miR-26a, miR-149, miR-455, miR-195, miR-331, miR-146a/b, miR-374b, miR-184, miR-301a, miR-92, miR-223 and miR-374a, respectively. B. qRT-PCR was further applied to investigate the miR-573 expression in BPH (n = 12), primary tumor (n = 65) and metastatic tissues (n = 15). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Data are means of biological triplicates (± standard error).
