miR-34c-5p inhibits AREG via downregulation of the AREG-EGFR-ERK pathway. (a) The protein expression levels of the signaling components of the AREG-EGFR-ERK pathway in parental SKOV-I6 and OVS1 cells and their sphere cells are shown by western blotting. Tubulin was used as an internal control. Relative band intensity was quantified by ImageJ 1.42 and was represented with normalized mean±s.e. (N=3) below each band. (b) The protein expression levels of the signaling components of the AREG-EGFR-ERK pathway in parental SKOV-3-I6 and OVS1 cells transfected with the indicated plasmids are shown by western blotting. β-actin was used as an internal control. Relative band intensity was quantified by ImageJ 1.42 and was represented with normalized mean±s.e. (N=3) below each band. (c) The model of signaling pathway that depicts miR-34c-5p targeting AREG to inhibit the AREG-EGFR-ERK signaling and to affect ovarian cancer stemness and drug resistance.
