miR-206 expression is associated with weak c-Met expression in gastric tumors.

<p>(A) Real-time RT-PCR analysis showing the expression of miR-206 in normal tissues (set at 1) and the relative amount of miR-206 in the tumors, as fold reduction. N: normal tissues; T: tumors. U6 snRNA was used as an internal control. (B) miR-206 expression in cells was inversely correlated with c-Met. The representative immunohistochemical staining of three gastric tumor specimens and their respective adjacent normal tissues was presented. Sample numbers 2, 6, and 23 are identical with those in Real-time RT-PCR. Tumor cells with > 50% positive staining were considered to have strong c-Met expression.
