Figure 3. miR-942 inhibition reduces stem cell-like traits in ESCC.

Figure 3

(A-B) Representative micrographs (left) and quantification (right) of tumourspheres formation in antagomir-942 or control cells. Scale bar, 100 μm. (C) Effects of antagomir-942 or control cells on the distribution of CD90+ cells using flow cytometric analysis. * P < 0.05 (D) Real-time PCR analysis of the mRNA expression of pluripotency-associated markers in antagomir-942 or control cells. Transcript levels were normalized to GAPDH expression. Error bars represent mean±SD from three independent experiments. * P < 0.05. (E) MTT assay revealed that inhibition of miR-942 is only slightly suppressed in Eca109 and Kyse510 compare to the control cells at indicated times after seeding.
