Basal expression of microRNAs in cancer cells. (A, B) Repertoire of microRNAs predicted to bind PLD1 (A) or PLD2 (B) 3′ untranslated regions (3′ UTR) by TargetScan Human and EMBL-EBI. (C to F) MicroRNA profiles under basal conditions of breast tissue cells, cancerous and noncancerous. qRT-PCR was performed to measure endogenous levels of several miRNAs, i.e., miR-203 (C), miR-887 (D), miR-3619-5p (E), and miR-182 (F), in the indicated cell lines. U6 snRNA was used as a control. qRT-PCR, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR; snRNA, small nuclear RNA. Statistics and symbols are as indicated in the legend to Fig. 1.
