(A) The stable cells of BCPAP and TPC-1 cells overexpressing let-7a were transfected with AKT2 cDNA without 3’-UTR region. After 72 h cultures, immunoblotting assay was performed as described above. The density of relative proteins expression levels were quantified and normalized to the level of GAPDH. (B) The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay showed that BCPAP and TPC-1 cells stably expressing let-7a grew slower than cells stably expressing miR-NC. (C, D, E) Colony formation, migration and transwell invasion assays of BCPAP and TPC-1 cells stably expressing miR-NC or let-7a were performed. Error bars represent the mean±SD of triplicate experiments. (*, **) Significant difference when compared with the miR-NC group (P< 0.05)(P< 0.01). (#, ##) Significant difference when compared with the let-7a group (P< 0.05, P< 0.01). Bar =200μm.
