Overexpression of miR-590-3p inhibited the expression of MACC1 by targeting its 3′-UTR. (A) Effect of miR-590-3p on the mRNA expression of MACC1 in GSCs. (B) Effect of miR-590-3p on the protein expression of MACC1 in GSCs. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 5, each group) *P < 0.05 vs. pre-NC group, #P < 0.05 vs. anti-NC group. (C) The predicted miR-590-3p binding sites in the 3′-UTR region of MACC1 (MACC1-3′-UTR-Wt1 (Wt2)) and the designed mutant sequence (MACC1-3′-UTR-Mut1 (Mut2)) were indicated. (D) Luciferase activities were significantly reduced in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells co-transfected with MACC1-Wt1 (MACC1-Wt2) and pre-miR-590-3p, but not in in HEK 293T cells co-transfected with MACC1-Mut1 (MACC1-Mut2) and pre-miR-590-3p. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 5, each group) *P < 0.05 vs. MACC1-Wt1 (MACC1-Wt2) + pre-NC group.
