Correlation of plasma corticosterone concentration with miRNAs. Plasma corticosterone concentrations from experimental and treatment cohorts of mice with chronic pancreatitis (early phase), pancreatic cancer and after bile duct ligation (late phase) were pooled and correlated either with the expression of miR-30b (a), miR-203 (b), miR-375 (c) or miR-132 (d). Correlation coefficient (r) and p-values were obtained by Spearman correlation. P < 0.05 was considered to be significant (c, d). a–d (n = 37).
