MicroRNA-143 (miR-143) expression in scirrhous type gastric cancer (GC) tissue and cell lines. In situ hybridization of miR-143 was carried out in combination with immunofluorescence staining in scirrhous type GC. MicroRNA-143 labeling was revealed by Cy3-conjugated streptavidin (red). (a) α-Smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), (b) vimentin, or (c) CAM5.2 labeling was revealed by FITC-conjugated secondary antibody (green). DNA was counterstained with DAPI (blue). MicroRNA-143 expression was localized to α-SMA-positive and vimentin-positive stromal fibroblasts. (d) MicroRNA-143 expression levels were evaluated in GC cell lines and fibroblasts. Bars and error bars indicate median and standard error, respectively. *P < 0.05. CaF, cancer-associated fibroblasts; NF, normal gastric fibroblasts.
