Abnormal expression levels of PSAT1 rescues the biological effects of miR-365 overexpression.
Notes: (A) MTT assay measured the growth rate of esophageal cancer cells EC9706 and EC109 overexpressing miR-365 and transfected with PSAT1. (B) Transwell Matrigel assays in EC7906 and EC109 cells exhibiting overexpression of miR-365 and transfected with PSAT1. (C) Western blot analysis showed that transfection of PSAT1 abolished miR-365-mediated suppression of E-cadherin and caused overexpression of Vimentin, GSK-3β, phosphorylated GSK-3β, and Snail. *P<0.01 and **P<0.001.
Abbreviations: miR-365, miRNA-365; PSAT1, phosphoserine aminotransferase 1.
