STAT3 was inversely correlated with the miR-130b levels in pancreatic cancer tissues.

<p>(A) STAT3 was detected by qRT-PCR in 52 pancreatic cancer (PC) tissues and was matched the adjacent noncancerous pancreatic tissues (NP). The STAT3 abundance was normalized against GAPDH. (B) The relationship between STAT3 and miR-130b expression was explored by Spearman’s correlation in 52 paired PC tissues and adjacent NP tissues. All data from three separate experiments are presented as mean±SD. *. P<0.05; **. P<0.01.
