MicroRNA-7 as a Potential Biomarker for Prognosis in Pancreatic Cancer

Figure 2

Lower miR-7 expression is correlated with the advanced tumor stage and worse patient prognosis from the TCGA database. (a) RNA-seq reads of miR-7 were normalized and categorized in 4 normal pancreas tissues and 178 pancreatic cancers from TCGA database. The expression level of miR-7 was examined in cancer tissue from pancreatic cancer patients with I~IV stage. (b) Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to classify the 178 pancreatic cancer patients enrolled in TCGA database according to the expression of miR-7 in tumors (top and bottom 50% miR-7 expression).
