Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. Network of validated target genes. Network of validated target genes associated with the terms ‘Cell Death and Survival, Cancer, Hematological System Development and Function’. The relation of 29 validated target genes (miRWalk2.0) assembled in a network associated with 11 miRNAs altered in OS in this study. Eight genes were downregulated and 21 upregulated. Red: downregulated; blue: upregulated. Gray lines: association between genes; Red lines: association between gene and miRNA; continuous line: direct association; dashed line: indirect association.
