  1. In this table, for a miRNA — mRNA pair, its regulation change, miRNA expression change and mRNA expression change between stage 1 (earlier stage) and stage 2 (later stage) are listed, thereupon the accordance between regulation change and expression change is defined. ‘miRNA change’ or ‘mRNA change’: the expression change of miRNA or mRNA; ‘’ or ‘’ : the expression was upregulated or downregulated in stage 2 compared with stage 1; ‘-’: the expression has no obvious change between two stages. ’Agreement’ or ‘Disagreement’: for a miRNA — mRNA pair, its regulation change and expression change is in agreement or in disagreement. The ‘Agreement Pair’ (AP) and ‘Typical Pair’ (TP) are collectively termed ‘Efficient Pair’ (EP).
