Figure 5. miRNAs are differentially expressed in cancer spheres and their targets are enriched in the members of the TGFβ signaling pathway.

(A) miRNA expression pattern of CAKI-1 and ACHN parental cells and their RCC sphere derivative was compared by RT-qPCR-based screening. (B) Targets of differentially expressed miRNAs were analyzed by miRPath and TargetScan programs. The BMPR-SMAD1/5/8-mediated branch of TGFβ pathway is targeted by several miRNAs overexpressed in RCC spheres. The TGFBR2-SMAD2/3-mediated branch of the TGFβ pathway is predicted to be targeted by several miRNAs downregulated in RCC spheres.
