Compared to matched normal peritumoral tissues, the UCA1 expression was up-regulated remarkably in 68.2% (60 of 88) of cancer tissues (P = 0.021), and about 2.12 times (Fig. 1a and b),and the miR-182-5p expression was down-regulated remarkably in 72.7% (64 of 88) of cancer tissues (P = 0.002) (Fig. 1c and d). The gene discussed is UCA1; the disease is cancer.
