For both microRNAs, a significant and inverse correlation with INHBA levels was observed in the cell lines (rho = -0.75 and p = 0.033 for miR-143, rho = -0.62 and p = 0.042 for miR-145, Fig 9A) and fresh tumor samples (rho = -0.72 and p = 0.01 for miR-143, rho = -0.70 and p = 0.02 for miR-145, Fig 9B). Here, INHBA is linked to neoplasm.
