MMP16 is a potential target of miR-328-3p in osteosarcoma cells.

Notes: (A) The binding sites of miR-328-3p to MMP16 mRNA and the relative luciferase activity of miR-328-3p overexpressed U2OS cells cotransfected with the constructs containing the WT or the MUT 3′-UTR of MMP16. (B) Western blot analysis of the relative expression levels of MMP16 protein in U2OS cells with the enforced expression of miR-328-3p. Each assay was conducted in triplicate and repeated thrice. The data show the mean of triplicate repeats ± SD.

Abbreviations: GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; miR, microRNA; MMP16, matrix metalloprotease 16; MUT, mutant; NC-mimics, negative control mimics; WT, wild type.
