The miR-320d and FoxM1 expression level in GCA tissues and the adjacent normal tissues. RT-qPCR analysis of miR-320d expression level (a) and FoxM1 mRNA level (b) in 60 GCA tissues and the adjacent non-cancerous tissues. c Correlation between miR-320d expression and FoxM1 mRNA expression in 60 GCA tissues (r = − 2.94, P = 0.023). Representative IHC images (d) and western-blot analysis (e) of FoxM1 protein in GCA and normal tissues. f IHC scores of FoxM1 protein in GCA and normal tissues evaluated by the independent pathologists (n = 4). g Quantification of FoxM1 level by western-blot (n = 6). GAPDH was normalized as 100%. The * represents significant difference from GCA tissues to the normal tissues (**: P < 0.01; ***: P < 0.001). Data are shown as mean ± SD
