Inhibition of endogenous miR-193b increases DDAH1 mRNA and protein expression in MCF7 cells. (A) DDAH1 mRNA expression levels were assessed following transfection of 100 nM control inhibitor or targeting miR-193b inhibitor. Expression levels were assessed 48 hr post-transfection by quantitative RT-PCR and normalised to expression of 18S. Expression of DDAH1 mRNA following miR-193b inhibitor transfection is expressed relative to the NC inhibitor transfection, set to a value of 1. (B) DDAH1 protein expression was assessed by western blotting 72 hr post-transfection. ß-actin expression was used to normalise for total protein. (C) Quantification of DDAH1 protein expression was conducted from three independent experiments and normalised to ß-actin expression. Data are shown relative to DDAH1 expression in NC condition, which is set to a value of 1. All data are the average of at least two independent experiments performed in triplicate. Error bars represent SEM. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001.
