miR-1271 suppresses tumor growth and metastasis in TNBC. a The expression of miR-1271 in MDA-MB-231 cells with stable overexpression of miR-1271 as determined by RT-qPCR. b Transwell invasion assay of cells as in (A). c and d, The mRNA (C) and protein (D) expression of EMT markers in cells as in (A) were detected by RT-qPCR and western blotting. e Immunofluorescence analyses of EMT markers in cells as in (a). f Tumor volume of xenograft mice injected with MDA-MB-231-miR-1271 or control cells at the indicated times. g Representative photos of the tumors formed by MDA-MB-231 -miR-1271 or control cells at harvest time. h The weights of tumors formed by MDA-MB-231-miR-1271 or control cells at harvest time. i H&E staining in primary tumors harvested from mice bearing the indicated xenograft tumors. j Representative H&E lung images show lower number of lung nodules in lungs of mice injected with MDA-MB-231-miR-1271 cells compared to control. *P < 0.05.
