MiR-93 inhibitor enhanced cisplatin-induced cell death by regulation of DNA damage-induced apoptosis.

Notes: (A) miR-93 had no effect on bladder cancer cell growth. (B) Repressing miR-93 did not change the activity of CASP3, but after receiving chemotherapy, activity was detected in T24 and RT4 cells transfected with miR-93 inhibitor. (C) Western blotting was used to determine the expression of cleaved CASP3 in T24 or RT4 cells transfected with miR-93 inhibitor. (D) The T24 and RT4 cells transfected with miR-93 inhibitor for 24 hours followed by exposure to 5 μM of cisplatin for additional 24 hours, and analyzed by γH2AX foci staining. (E) Quantification of γH2AX foci-positive cells of T24 and RT4 cells transfected with miR-93 inhibitor. The cells with γH2AX foci >5 were counted as positive cells and expressed as a percentage. Results are representative of at least three independent experiments and shown as the mean ± standard deviation. P-values: Student’s t-test.
