miR-204-5p inhibits melanoma growth in vivo and increases sensitivity of melanoma cells to chemotherapy. (A) Tumor formation in nude mice and the excision tumor of A375 xenografts. (B) Difference in tumor volume between the NC group and the miR-204-5p group. (C) The tumor weight of excision tumor. (D) PCR identified miR-204-5p expression changes. (E) Western blots identified MMP9 and BCL2 protein expression changes. (F) A dose-dependent 5-FU and DDP treatment was conducted on miR-204-5p mimic- or NC-transfected melanoma cells. The proliferative ability of A375 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
