Figure 6From: MiR-125b promotes proliferation and migration of type II endometrial carcinoma cells through targeting TP53INP1 tumor suppressor in vitro and in vivo Repressing TP53INP1 could significantly attenuate the inhibitory effect of miR-125bi on type II EC cell proliferation and migration. A~B. The expression level of TP53INP1 protein was detected by western blot at 48 h posttransfection and normalized to that of β-actin. The expression level of TP53INP1 protein was significantly lower in cells cotransfected with miR-125bi plus siTP53INP1 as compared to the cells cotransfected with the same inhibitors plus siTP53INP1 control (*P < 0.01). C. Cell proliferation was evaluated by CCK8 analysis. The proliferative capacity of AN3CA cells cotransfected with miR-125bi plus siTP53INP1 was significantly higher than that of cells cotransfected with miR-125bi plus siTP53INP1 control (*P < 0.05). D. Cell migration ability of AN3CA was determined by transwell migration analysis. The number of migrated cells of AN3CA cells cotransfected with miR-125bi plus siTP53INP1 was increased about 2.5 fold as compared that of cells cotransfected with miR-125bi plus siTP53INP1 control (*P < 0.01).Back to article page
