Expression of miR-370 in AML cells (HL60 and K562) and the effect of 5-aza-2’deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR). AML cells were plated in 6-well plates, treated with 5 μM 5-Aza-CdR or PBS and harvested after 72 hours. The expression of mature miR-370 was assessed using real-time PCR. (A) 5-aza-CdR increases the relative expression of miR-370 in AML cells. Data represent mean ± s.e. from three separate determinations. *p < 0.05 compared with respective controls. (B) 5-aza-CdR decreases the relative mRNA level of FoxM1 in AML cells. *p < 0.05. (C) 5-aza-CdR decreases the protein level of FoxM1 in AML cells. (D) Diminished foci formation of 5-aza-CdR treated AML cells
