Figure 3

CXCL5 is highly expressed in EC cells. (a) Volcano map of DEmRNAs in normal () and tumor () groups in TCGA-ESCA dataset. (b) Upset map of the putative target mRNAs of miR-145-3p and upregulated DEmRNAs. Yellow indicates mirDIP database. Black indicates DEmRNAs in TCGA-ESCA dataset. Blue indicates TargetScan database. Red indicates miRWalk database. (c) Pearson’s correlation analysis of gene candidates and miR-145-3p. (d) CXCL5 expression in TCGA database. (e, f) CXCL5 mRNA and protein levels in normal cells HEEC and EC cells (EC109, EC9706, TE-1, and OE19). The difference comparisons were compared with the HEEC cell line. .
