The expression levels and correlations of NEAT1, miR-149-5p, and AKT1 in HCC patients. (a and b) qPCR results comparing (a) miR-149-5p and (b) AKT1 expressions in HCC tissues and matched tumor-adjacent tissues. (c and d) qPCR results demonstrating the relationship between (c) miR-149-5p and (d) AKT1 expressions in HCC tissues and sorafenib resistance patterns. (e and f) qPCR results demonstrating the correlation between NEAT1 and (e) miR-149-5p and (f) AKT1 mRNA expressions analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation analysis
