Relationship between Fusobacterium nucleatum, inflammatory mediators and microRNAs in colorectal carcinogenesis

Figure 2 Relative quantification of inflammatory genes in (A) adenoma and (B) colorectal tumour tissue samples compared to a pool of respective adjacent normal tissue samples and (C) colorectal tumour tissue samples compared to adenoma samples. All samples were normalized to the reference genes ACTB and GAPDH. Statistically significant differences, according to the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, were ^aP ≤ 0.001 and ^bP ≤ 0.01. Median with interquartile range graph. RQ: Relative quantification.
