HOXA11 and colorectal carcinoma: Compared with the 15 samples of CRC without metastasis, the relative expression of miR-149-3p was significantly lower in the 15 CRC samples with liver metastasis (p<0.001), as shown in Figure 2B. Moreover, a negative correlation was found between the relative expression of miR-149-3p and that of HOXA11-AS (Fig. 2C).
