From: Decreased expression of miR-23b is associated with poor survival of endometrial cancer patients
Schematic representation of the study design. (1) Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples were prepared from endometrial cancer type 1 (EC1) and type 2 (EC2) tumors and healthy endometrium. (2) FFPE specimens were hematoxylin and eosin stained for pathological examination. (3) FFPE specimens were hematoxylin and eosin stained and (4) subjected to laser-capture microdissection (LCM). Microscopic scans of slides before LCM (left) and after LCM (right) with dissected cancer tissue. (5) RNA was isolated from the collected tissue of endometrial cancer and healthy endometrium. (6) After reverse transcription, the expression of selected miRNAs was assessed using real-time qPCR method. Created using Biorender.com.
