Among 157 DEMIs in ESCA tissues, 86 were upregulated and 71 were downregulated, while 252 and 86 were upregulated and downregulated, respectively, in 338 DEMIs in GAC tissues, and 205 were upregulated and 250 were downregulated among the 455 DEMIs in COAD tissues. Of the 339 READ DEMIs, 175 were upregulated and 164 were downregulated.
