Decreased miR-185 levels in HCC are associated with ITGB5 protein expression. a Expression levels of miR-185 in HCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were analysed by Q-PCR. Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. **p < 0.01 vs. control. b–d The expression levels of β-catenin and ITGB5 were examined by immunohistochemistry. Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. ***p < 0.001 vs. control. e Correlation analyses of miR-185 levels and ITGB5 expression in 30 HCC tissues. f Correlation analyses of β-catenin and ITGB5 expression in 30 HCC tissues
