(A and B). DKK3 mRNA and miR-708 expression were altered when the cells were treated with 5-aza and the miR-708 inhibitor. (C and D) Expression of β-catenin (cytoplasmic and nuclear), cyclin D1, GSK3β and p-GSK3β in the B-ALL cell lines after treatment with 5-aza and the miR-708 inhibitor, as determined by western blotting. The graphs show the corresponding band intensities of β-catenin, cyclin D1, GSK3β and p-GSK3β normalized to GAPDH and compared with the control. (E and F). The images represent β-catenin (cytoplasmic and nuclear), cyclin D1 GSK3β and p- GSK3β expression in BALL-1 cells after treatment with 5-aza and the miR-708 inhibitor/mimics or negative controls (NC), as determined by western blotting. The data are presented as the means ± SDs of triplicate experiments. *P<0.05; **P<0.01.
