From: miR-203 inhibits the traumatic heterotopic ossification by targeting Runx2
Expression of miR-203 is negatively correlated with Runx2 in HO patients. (a) Microarray profiling results of dysregulated miRNAs in HO and normal bone samples from patients. (b) Heat map depicting the relatedness of the gene expression profiles of normal bones and HO tissues. (c) The miR-203 level is decreased in the HO tissues (n=30) compared with the normal bone samples (n=15). (d) The Runx2 mRNA level is increased in the HO tissues. (e) A significant inverse correlation is observed between the miR-203 and Runx2 expression levels in the HO tissues (n=30)
