3. FIG. 2
Expression profile of the selected miRNAs in H. pylori-infected patients according to endoscopic findings. (a) miR-9, miR-96, miR-146a, miR-155, miR-204 and miR-650 expression was not different between normal and duodenal ulcer patients. (b) Expression of the ‘housekeeping’ microRNA miR-98. Mann–Whitney U-test. Box plots show the 25th, 50th (median), 75th and range (whiskers).

4. FIG. 3
Expression profile of the selected miRNAs in dyspeptic patients according to gastritis activity. (a) miR-9, miR-146a, miR-155 and miR-650 are up-regulated in patients with chronic active gastritis but not in patients with non-active gastritis. (b) miR-96 and miR-204 are down-regulated in patients with chronic active gastritis but not in patients with non-active gastritis. (c) Gastritis activity has no effect on the ‘housekeeping’ miR-98. Kruskal-Wallis H-test. Box plots show the 25th, 50th (median), 75th and range (whiskers).

mRNA gene expression of selected interleukins (a), signalling molecules (b) and the housekeeping gene (c) in relation to gastritis activity. Kruskal-Wallis H-test. Box plots show the 25th, 50th (median), 75th and range (whiskers).
