Fig. 2: miR-103a expression was upregulated in HCC and related to poor prognosis in the Renji cohort.

A Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis was performed to assess miR-103a expression in 89 paired HCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues and two healthy volunteer liver tissues. B Survival curves suggested that increased miR-103a expression was significantly associated with unfavourable prognosis of patients with HCC. C–F Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis was performed to validate miR-103a expression in SMMC-7721 (p < 0.001), MHCC97H (p < 0.001), MHCC97L (p < 0.01) and HCCLM3 (p < 0.001) cells transfected with miR-103a lentivirus. All results are representative of at least three independent experiments.
