Fig. 1: miR-103a is a highly expressed/upregulated microRNA in HCC, and its high expression is related to poor prognosis in TCGA datasets.

A Fifteen highest microRNA read counts in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues (n = 372) and adjacent normal tissues (n = 50). B MiR-103a reads in next-generation sequencing accounted for 1.458% of the total reads, and miR-103a was the 13th most highly expressed microRNA in HCC tissues. C miR-103a expression levels (normalized reads) were upregulated in HCC tissues (n = 372) compared with adjacent normal tissues (n = 50). D Kaplan–Meier analysis showing that the level of miR-103a was negatively correlated with the overall survival rate of HCC patients (follow-up threshold was 36 months). NT adjacent tumour tissues, TP tumour tissues. miR-103a microRNA-103a, HCC hepatocellular carcinoma cells. These data were obtained from TCGA database.
