Figure 6. PcG-targeting microRNAs were upregulated after DNMT inhibition.

Figure 6

(a–c) To confirm the expression levels of PcG-targeting microRNAs in early and late passage MSCs and 5-AzaC-treated MSCs, real-time qPCR analysis was performed. Relative expression levels of mature microRNA 200c and 214 in early and late passage (a) and 1, 3 and 7day, 5-AzaC-treated hUCB-MSCs (b) were visualized. Relative expression levels of precursor microRNA 200c and 214 in 1–3 day, 5-AzaC-treated hUCB-MSCs were visualized (c). (d–e) miR200c and miR-214 inhibition and overexpression studies were performed. (d) Overexpression of both miRNAs induced cellular senescence of hUCB-MSCs, as shown by SA β-gal staining. (e) After transfection of anti- and mature-miRNA oligonucleotides, the expression levels of each miRNA and EZH2 and BMI1 were evaluated by real-time qPCR.
