Figure 4From: Differentially expressed microRNAs in the serum of cervical squamous cell carcinoma patients before and after surgeryThe expression levels of specific circulating miRNAs were significantly different between the serum samples at the preoperative, 1 week or one month after surgery. MiR-132 (A) and miR-181c (B) was decreased significantly one month after surgery compared to the preoperative level; no significant difference between the other two groups. The expression levels of miR-15a (C) and miR-370 (F) were significantly decreased 1 month after surgery compared to the preoperative levels and 1-week postoperative levels; no significant differences were observed between the preoperative and one week postoperative levels. The levels of miR-143-3p (D) and miR-21-5p (E) were significantly decreased 1 week and 1 month after surgery compared with the preoperative levels; no significant differences between the of one week postoperative and one month postoperative levels were. The expression levels of miR-200a-3p (G) was decreased significantly 1 week after surgery compared to the preoperative levels, but increased significantly when compared to 1 month postoperative levels. The expression levels of miR-646 (H) were significantly different between all three time points.Back to article page
