C-Myc overexpression promotes chicken cell proliferation and miR-17-92 cluster expression. (a) Effect of c-Myc overexpression on the proliferation of DF1 cells. Cells were transfected with either pCMV-HA-c-Myc or pCMV-HA vector, and cell proliferation was assayed at the designated time points after transfection using the CCK-8 kit. (b) qRT-PCR analysis of PCNA, Cyclin D1 and Ki67 in DF1 cells. Cells were transfected with pCMV-HA-c-Myc or pCMV-HA vector at the designated time points after transfection, and total RNA was isolated and gene expression was assessed using qRT-PCR. Gene expression was normalized to NONO mRNA level. Fold change is relative to pCMV-HA vector at 24 h after transfection. (c) DF1 cells were transfected with either pCMV-HA-c-Myc or pCMV-HA vector at the designated time points after transfection, total RNA was isolated and the expression of pri-miR-17-92 and its mature miRNA members was quantified using qRT-PCR and stem-loop qRT-PCR, respectively. The pri-miR-17 -92 expression was normalized to NONO mRNA level, and the mature miRNA expression was normalized to U6 snRNA expression level. Fold change is relative to pCMV-HA vector at 24 h after transfection. All data are representative of three independent experiments and shown as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; determined by two-tailed Student’s t-test.
