Knockdown of LKB1 reverses the effects of miR-744 silencing in PC3 cells. Co-transfection of LKB1-siRNA successfully restored LKB1 expression in PC3 cells and downregulated miR-744 at the (A) miR and (B) protein level. (C) LKB1-siRNA reversed PC3 cell viability inhibition produced by miR-744 silencing. (D) LKB1-siRNA reversed the reduction in colony formation capability induced by miR-744 downregulation. *P≤0.05 vs. respective NC (n=3). LKB1, liver kinase B1; miR, microRNA; siRNA, small interfering RNA; NC, negative control.
