Fig. 7From: miR-196a-5p promotes metastasis of colorectal cancer via targeting IκBαIκBα was a target of the miR-196a-5p. a The predicted seed region of IκBα bound to miR-196a-5p and the mutated sequence used in present work was shown at left. The luciferase activity was measured at 48 h after HEK293 cells cotransfected with vector/miR-196a-5p mimic, IκBα-WT/miR-196a-5p mimic or IκBα-WT/miR-196a-5p-mutant plasmid. b The expression of IκBα mRNA in CRC cells after transfection. c The effects of miR-196a-5p on the expression of IκBα and nuclear p65 were determined by western blot. Data were shown as mean ± SD, ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01 and *P < 0.05 compared to NC groupBack to article page
