Figure 5. mir-487b overexpression in KNS42 cells affects expression of stem cell markers and colony formation in soft agar.
(A) miRNA expression in virus infected KNS42 cells with mir-control or mir-487b (Red), DAPI for nuclear staining (Blue). (B) mi-487b overexpression in KNS42 cells infected with mir-487b. ** p<0.01 compared to mir-control cells. (C) Soft agar clonogenic assay. Colony numbers of KNS42 cells infected with mir-control or mir-487b were counted after 21 days culture in 6-well plates. (D) qRT-PCR shows downregulation of Nestin and PROM1 and upregulation of WNT5A after mir-487b overexpression in KNS42 cells. All data were normalized to HPRT1. * p<0.05, ** p<0.01.
