The three miRNAs whose fold change was statistically significant in the qPCR analysis (miR-21, miR-200a and miR-141) were used in the DIANA-mirPath database to identify potential signaling pathways regulated by them. The ones related to carcinogenesis are shown in the list. The number of genes targeted by one or more of the significant miRNAs (miR-21, 200a or miR-141) is annotated in the right column; Number of miRNA target genes within the respective pathway.
