Figure 4. Expression profile of miR-34a in human PDAC samples. (A) miR34-a expression levels are lower in PDAC specimens compared to healthy pancreas controls. We compared the expression of miR-34a in 10 specimens in each group. Student t test was performed to compare groups. Two-tailed P value of 0.05 or less was considered statistically significant. ***p < 0.001. (B) qRT-PCR was conducted to determine the expression of miR-34a-target genes in human PDAC or healthy pancreas control specimens. Expression of miR-34a-target genes in human PDAC and healthy pancreas control specimens were detected by qRT-PCR using specific primers and SYBR green detection as per standard protocols. Bars represent average ± s.d. of three individual experiments. Two-tailed P value of 0.05 or less was considered statistically significant; ***p < 0.001.
