The expression of miR-155 in peripheral blood of OLP.

2^−ΔΔCT was used to calculate the relative expression of miR-155. The significant differences of miR-155 expression between the groups were tested by Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) test and results are represented as box plots. The boxes stretch from the 25th to the 75th percentile; the lines across the boxes indicate the median values; the soft dots in the box indicate the mean values; the lines stretching from the boxes indicate extreme values. Statistical significances are shown in the middle of the lines linking the two compared groups. Pearson’s correlation test was performed and statistical significance as well as the correlation coefficient is shown. Each dot plot represents a subject and the correlation is fitted into a straight line.
