Prediction of target gene and determination of miR-429 expression in gastric cancer tissues. (A) Bioinformatics prediction of direct interactions between miR-429 and HPSE. Bioinformatics prediction is a powerful tool for the study of the functions of miRNAs. To understand the regulatory mechanism of HPSE in gastric cancer, TargetScan (http://www.targetscan.org) and miRanda (http://www.microrna.org/microrna/home.do) were used to predict the interaction between miR-429 and HPSE mRNA. (B) Expression of miR-429 in tumor-adjacent tissues and gastric cancer tissues. Expression of miR-429 was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. *P<0.01 compared with control. miR, microRNA; HPSE, heparanase.
