Downregulation of miR-26b in human HCC cell lines and tissues. The relative expression level of miR-26b was examined in normal human liver tissue (Normal), and HCC tissues at different WHO classifications. The expression level of miR-26b was also compared in eight HCC cell lines: HepG2, MHCC97L, MHCC97H, Bel-7402, Huh7, HCCC-9810, Hep3B, and QGY-7703. All experiments were repeated at least three times. Each bar represents the mean of three independent experiments. * P < 0.05. The average expression level of miR-26b were compared between the normal tissues and the HCC tissues, the normal tissues and HCC cell lines.
