Fig. 1From: miR-148b-3p functions as a tumor suppressor in GISTs by directly targeting KITDifferentially expressed miRNAs in CD117IHC+/KIT mutation GIST compared with CD117IHC-/wild type GIST patients. (a) A heat map based on miRNA microarray data that shows distinct expression patterns for 9 miRNAs between the two patient groups (fold change>1.5; p<0.05). (b) Validation of miRNA expression by RT-PCR in CD117IHC+/KITmutation GISTs compared to CD117IHC-/wild type GISTs. (c) A comparison between the microarray and RT-PCR data in the expression (fold change) for a group of miRNAsBack to article page
