In spite of this wide genetic heterogeneity, an inverse relationship between IL-8 mRNA and miR-93 can be observed in our samples of glioblastomas (see Fig. 3b), similar to that found between VEGF mRNA and miR-93 (see Fig. 3a), as evidenced also by plotting both IL-8 and VEGF mRNAs in respect to miR-93 (see Fig. 3c). Here, VEGFA is linked to glioblastoma.
