Correlation between the expression of miR-148a and the protein levels of PTEN in osteosarcoma. (A) PTEN expression in osteoblastic hFOB 1.19 cells vs. osteosarcoma MG63 and U2OS cells was detected by western blotting. (B) Correlation between PTEN and miR-148a expression levels in osteosarcoma tissues was statistically analyzed by Pearson's correlation coefficient. PTEN and miR-148a expression levels are presented as standardized values. The r and P-values obtained are indicated in the image. miR, microRNA; PTEN, phosphatase and tensin homolog.
