Fig 2. Rictor is a target of miR-153 in glioma cells.

Stable U87MG cells expressing miR-153, microRNA-control (“miR-C”) or empty vector (“pSuper-puro”) were subjected to real-time PCR assay of miR-153 (A) and Rictor mRNA (B). Expressions of listed proteins in these cells were also tested (C). Rictor protein expression (vs. Tubulin) and p-Akt Ser473 (vs. Akt1) were quantified (C). Bars stand for mean ± SD. * p < 0.05 vs. “Vector” group (A and B, n = 5).
