Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1/miR-181d status stratifies patient survival. (A) Dose-dependent effects of IGF-1 on miR-181d expression levels. (B) Detection of endogenous miR-181d levels in normal human astrocytes and three different glioma cell lines, including HS683, M059K, and U87-MG cells. After cells were treated with the indicated doses of IGF-1 for 48 h, RNA was extracted to detect miR-181d levels. Relative expression levels of miR-181d were measured with a real-time PCR. The miR-191-5p level was used as an internal control. Data are the mean ± SD of three experiments. The analyses of Kaplan-Meier survival curves in the IGF-1 (C), miR-181d (D), and IGF-1 combined with miR-181d (E) groups. TCGA glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients were divided into two groups based on the median expression cutoff points of IGF-1 and miR-181d levels. The survival rate was measured by a log-rank test. (F) Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of IGF1-miR-181d axis-regulated cytokine genes.
