MMP16 overexpression partially reverses the miR-328-3p-inhibited cell proliferation and migration of osteosarcoma cell.

Notes: (A) The expression levels of MMP16 protein in U2OS cells cotransfected with MMP16-ex and miR-328-3p-mimic, or with NC-ex and miR-328-3p-mimic. (B) Absorbance of U2OS cells cotransfected with MMP16-ex and miR-328-3p-mimic, or with NC-ex and miR-328-3p-mimic at five consecutive time points (0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours) detected by CCK-8 assay. (C and D) The representative images and the number of migrating U2OS cells cotransfected with MMP16-ex and miR-328-3p-mimic, or with NC-ex and miR-328-3p-mimic detected by Wound healing assay. Each assay was conducted in triplicate and repeated thrice. The data show the mean of triplicate repeats ± SD.
