Expression of miR-601 measured by qRT-PCR in GC tissues and cell lines. a MiR-601 expression was upregulated in the GC tissues compared with the adjacent normal controls, which were calculated according to the mean value from 139 GC patients (*** P < 0.001). b The expression of miR-601 was higher in the GC cell lines than that in the normal gastric cells (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001)
