SOX4 and gastric cancer: Figure 3(b) showed that miR-204 was expressed much lower in gastric cancer tissues compared with normal gastric tissues, whereas SOX4 was expressed much higher in gastric cancer tissues compared with normal gastric tissues. Moreover, Table 1 showed that, in the 54 gastric cancer tissues, 19 (35.2%) samples were miR-204 positive and 39 (72.2%) samples were SOX4 positive; and in the 54 normal gastric tissues, 34 (63.0%) samples were miR-204 positive and 17 (31.5%) samples were SOX4 positive.
