MiR-203 was downregulated in human GC tissue and was correlated with tumor size, overall survival and recurrence in GC patients. a Cluster analysis of miRNA expression profiles of GC and the ANTT. b Expression level of miR-203 was determined in 100 pairs of GC tissues and their corresponding ANTT by Real-time PCR and normalized to U6. c The patients were divided into ANTT, tumor size <5 cm and tumor size >5 cm groups. The diagram showed the miR-203 expression in each group. *P < 0.05. d, e GC patients were divided into low miR-203 expression group and high miR-203 expression group respectively, according to the result of Real-time PCR. Survival and recurrence curves were drawn with the log-rank test. Results showed the OS and recurrence of GC patients with high or low miR-203 expression
