MicroRNA-300 Inhibits the Proliferation and Metastasis of Cervical Cancer Cells via Posttranscriptional Suppression of G Protein-Coupled Receptor 34 (GPR34)
Figure 5
miR-300 targets GPR34 at the posttranscriptional level in cervical cancer. (a) In silico analysis for miR-300 target prediction. (b) miR-300 binding site identified in 3′UTR of GPR34. (c) Dual-luciferase assay of miR-300 with 3′UTR (WT or MUT) of GPR34 in CaSki cancer cells. (d) Relative expression analysis of miR-300 from cervical cancer and normal matched tissues. (e) Immunohistochemical staining analysis of GPR34 from four pairs of cervical cancer and normal matched tissues. (f) Western blotting of GPR34 from cervical cancer cell lines (CaSki, HeLa, HT-3, and ME-180) and HcerEpic, normal cervical epithelial cells. The experiments were performed in thrice triplicate and values are presented as mean ± SD .
