Figure 2.
Expression of the four miRNAs in the serum of 170 lung adenocarcinoma (LA) patients and 170 normal controls (NCs). The relative expression levels of miRNAs were compared between LA patients and NCs using the Mann-Whitney U test. Horizontal line: Mean with 95% confidence interval (CI). (A) miR-133a-3p: ∗P < 0.001, Z = –4.839; (B) miR-584-5p: †P < 0.001, Z = –5.230; (C) miR-10b-5p: ‡P < 0.006, Z = –4.723; (D) miR-221-3p: §P < 0.001, Z = –4.924. mi-RNA: MicroRNA.
