Expression of miR-15b-5p and its association with overall survival of patients with THCA. (A) Expression of miR-15-5b-5p was lower in patients with THCA (n=509) compared with healthy controls (n=58) according to starbase2.0 database. **P<0.01 vs. healthy controls. (B) Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis identified the downregulation of miR-15b-5p in THCA cells compared with normal thyroid epithelial cells. All experiments were repeated three times. **P<0.01, vs. Nthy3 cells. (C) Patients with low expression of miR-15b-5p had a poorer prognosis compared with patients with high expression of miR-15b-5p (log rank, P<0.01). miR, microRNA; THCA, thyroid carcinoma.
