Correlation analysis of the expression levels of miR-182 and MTSS1 in brain gliomas showed that miR-182 expression was negatively correlated with MTSS1 expression (P < 0.0001) (Fig. 4D), suggesting that overexpression of miR-182 might affect the regulation of MTSS1 expression. The gene discussed is MTSS1; the disease is brain glioma.
