Fig. 4From: Novel evidence for a PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) as an oncogenic mediator of disease progression, and a potential prognostic biomarker in colorectal cancerThe correlation between piR-1245 and its target genes in CRC tissues. a qPCR was performed to confirm the expression change of target genes after piR-1245 overexpression or knockdown in HCT116 and SW480 cells. (n = 3, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, independent t-test was used to compare control and treated cells). b qPCR was performed to evaluate the expression correlation between piR-1245 and its targets in CRC tissues. (n = 159, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01; Spearman’s rank correlation (ρ) was used for the correlation analysis)Back to article page
