In addition, there was an inverse correlation between miR-138-5p and MIR17HG expression (Supplementary Fig. S8e), and the level of miR-138-5p was negatively correlated with the IHC staining score of HK1 in 105 CRC tissues (Supplementary Fig. S8f). This evidence concerns the gene MIR17HG and colorectal carcinoma.
