MiRNA expression analysis in LCM-collected tissue from FFPE-bpx and frozen-RP specimens using Taqman®PreAmp. A, Correlation of miRNA housekeeping gene expression in all specimens (N=16). Expression of miR-125b and miR-16 in, B, normal (open bars) and PCa epithelium (dark bars) and, C, in normal epithelium (open bars) versus normal stromal tissue (dark bars). Graphs display the mean relative mRNA expression after normalization to the expression of RNU44 and RNU48. For A, mean of expression for Patients 1 and 2 is shown for normal and PCa epithelium. For B, mean of expression for Patients 1, 2 and 3 is shown for normal epithelium and stroma. Error bars represent standard deviation of 12 observations (n=6, technical duplicates) (except RP normal vs PCa, n=4). Results are shown relative to the expression of normal epithelium from Patient 1. Within each set of specimens (bpx or RP), paired t-test between normal epithelium and stroma; * = p<0.05, # = p < 0.01.
