Investigating the Pretreatment miRNA Expression Patterns of Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients in Association with Response to TACE Treatment

Figure 1

Profiling of 94 miRNA expression patterns in advanced HCC Egyptian patients compared to normal subjects. Expression of 94 miRNAs was determined by real-time PCR in specimens of normal controls () and HCC patients (). (a) Heatmap of expression profile of 94 miRNAs in HCC patients (P1–P15) and normal donors (N1–N6). (b) Volcano plot of relative gene expression fold of change of the 93 miRNA versus value. Fold of change is represented in log₂ ratio in the -axis versus value represented in log₁₀ ratio in the -axis.
