miR-638 is downregulated and SOX2 is overexpressed in patients with HCC. (A) miR-638 mRNA expression in 78 pairs of human HCC tissues and corresponding para-tumor tissues. (B) SOX2 mRNA expression in cancer tissues and para-tumor tissues was examined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (P<0.05). (C) An inverse correlation was observed between miR-638 and SOX2 mRNA expression levels in HCC tissues (r=−0.675; P<0.001). **P<0.05, ***P<0.001. miR, microRNA; SOX2, sex-determining region Y-box 2; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; para-tumor, paracancerous tissues.
