Hypertrophy of Ligamentum Flavum in Lumbar Spine Stenosis Is Associated with Increased miR-155 Level

Figure 3

The expression of miR-155 in LF specimens from LSS and LDH patients. (a) The relative miR-155 level in LF was higher in LSS group than in LDH group. (b) Correlation between miR-155 level and LF thickness. (c) A scatter plot showing the positive correlations between miR-155 level and collagen I/III protein levels in LF. The correlation coefficients were 0.825 ( ) and 0.827 ( ), respectively.
