Figure 4. miR-24-3p has a pro-tumorigenic role in vivo, in MPM.
REN transduced with miR-empty and miR-Zip24 vectors were injected i.p. in NOD-SCID mice. Experimental groups: mice with miR-empty n=12; mice with miR-Zip24 n=12. A) Mice overall survival. KM indicates that knockdown of miR-24-3p increases mice survival. B) Representative images of control and knockdown mice: depletion of miR-24-3p causes a reduction of metastasis and less bleeding. C) miR-24-3p knockdown significantly reduces body, diaphragm and tumor mass weight. Data are represented as mean ± SD. Statistical p-values are indicated (*p ≤ 0.05).
