Figure 3. Expression patterns (fold-changes and standard errors) of 10 "tumor common" miRNAs in different types of solid tumors. MiR-182, miR-182, miR-21, miR-142 and miR-455 were significantly up-regulated, and miR-139, miR-144, miR-101-2, miR-451 and miR-486 were significantly down-regulated for most of tumor types. Interestingly, miR-142 and miR-455 were significantly down-regulated in HCC and is in the opposite direction from the five other solid tumors, suggesting their potential as "HCC tumor specific" markers. HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma
