Box and whisker plots of comparisons between three miRNA expression levels in normal cervical tissues and cancer tissues with (+) or without (−) HPV E6/E7 mRNA expression. a MiR-9, b miR-21, and c miR-155 expression levels in high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) E6/E7-positive cervical cancer tissues were significantly up regulated compared to that found in normal cervical tissue samples (P < 0.0001 for all three comparisons). MiR-21 and miR-155 expression levels in HR-HPV E6/E7-negative cervical cancer tissues were significantly up regulated compared to that found in normal cervical tissue samples (P = 0.0079 and P = 0.00384, respectively). NS, not significant
