Relationship between TruB1, let‐7, and tumor progression in various cancers. (B) Published microarray and microRNA sequencing in prostate biopsy samples from patients with prostate cancer (data accessible at NCBI GEO database (Edgar
et al,
2002), accession
GSE64333, Wang
et al,
2015a; Data ref: Wang
et al,
2015b). In these data, there were correlations between the expression levels of TruB1 and both let‐7b and let‐7i. Regarding let‐7a, a statistically significant correlation was not found, but the same tendency was observed. Significance was assessed using Pearson product‐moment correlation coefficient. Regression lines were showed by red lines (C, D). TruB1 inversely correlates with tumor progression or oncogenesis in prostate cancer (C) and in pancreatic cancer (D). LD: local disease.

2005a; Data ref: Varambally
et al,
2005b; Pei
et al,
2009a; Data ref: Pei
et al,
2009b. Error bar shows SD. Significance was assessed using 2‐tailed Student's
t‐test, < 0.05*. The numbers of cases (C) were as follows: benign (
n = 6), LD (
n = 7), and ED (
n = 6). The numbers of cases (D) were as follows: Cancer (
n = 36) and normal (
n = 16).
