CTHRC1 and carcinoma: As shown in Fig. 1a, b, miR-155-5p was expressed significantly higher in the para-carcinoma tissue than in the carcinoma tissue (p = 0.000 for P1, p = 0.001 for P2, p = 0.000 for P3, p = 0.000 for P4 and p = 0.000 for P5, respectively), while CTHRC1 was obviously expressed lower in the para-carcinoma tissue than in the carcinoma tissue (p = 0.001 for P1, p = 0.002 for P2, p = 0.000 for P3, p = 0.000 for P4 and p = 0.000 for P5, respectively).
