miR-139-5p was downexpressed and TPD52 was upregulated in uterine leiomyoma tissues compared with adjacent tissues.

Notes: (A) miR-139-5p was downexpressed in uterine leiomyoma tissues. Total RNA was extracted and miR-139-5p expression was determined by quantitative RT-PCR. (B) TPD52 mRNA was upregulated in uterine leiomyoma tissues. Total RNA was extracted and TPD52 mRNA expression was determined by quantitative RT-PCR. (C) TPD52 was upregulated in uterine leiomyoma tissues. TPD52 expression was determined by Western blot. “A” represents adjacent tissues; “T” represents leiomyoma tissues. Relative expressions of TPD52 compared with GAPDH were calculated, and expression levels in tumor and adjacent tissues were compared (***P<0.001).

Abbreviation: RT-PCR, real-time polymerase chain reaction.
