Fig. 6: miR-3175 is downregulated in necrotic femoral head tissues of DEX-taking patients.

Expression of miR-3175 (A) and listed mRNAs (B–E) in necrotic femoral head tissues (“N”) and surrounding normal femoral head tissues (“S”) of 20 different DEX-taking patients (n = 20) was tested by qRT-PCR assays. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). *P < 0.05 versus “S” tissues. The proposed signaling carton of study (F).
