miR-1266-3p Suppresses Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Colon Cancer by Targeting P4HA3

Figure 5

MiR-1266-3p inhibited EMT by targeting P4HA3 in colon cancer cells. (a) The reverse effect of P4HA3 overexpression on miR-1266-3p-mediated changes in EMT-associated proteins in SW480 cells by western blot. (b) The reverse effect of P4HA3 overexpression on miR-1266-3p-mediated changes in EMT-associated proteins by western blot in HT29 cells. (c–e) Tumor size was calculated every three days after tumor formation. The tumors were stripped and weighed after 25 days of injection (). (f–g) In vivo metastatic assay by spleen injection revealed miR-1266-3p suppressed colon cancer hepatic metastasis by targeting P4HA3 . (h) Detection of P4HA3 and EMT-related markers expression in liver metastatic nodules by qRT-PCR ().
