Figure 5: Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by miRNA.
(A) Downregulation of METTL14 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells leads to an increase in unprocessed pri-miR-126. Mature miR-126 is associated with metastasis. (B) In HCC cells, lower expression of miR-145 allows for expression of YTHDF2 protein, decreasing the levels of m6A in cells, and increasing cellular proliferation.
