Fig. 7From: miR-663a inhibits tumor growth and invasion by regulating TGF-β1 in hepatocellular carcinomaDecline of miR-663a related with the up-regulation of TGF-β1 in HCC tissues. (a) Expression of miR-663a and TGF-β1 were detected by the qRT-PCR in 8 pairs of HCC samples. miR-663a was decreased in 6 of 8 HCC samples. N, Patient number. (b) The correlation analysis between miR-663a and TGF-β1 in HCC tissues. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001Back to article page
