HCP5-regulated RARRES3 expression in SKCM cells by sponging miR-1286. (A) HCP5 overexpression increased the expression of Gaussia luciferase (Gluc) governed by the 3ʹ UTR of RARRES3 mRNA. (B) HCP5 overexpression reduced the association of RARRES3 mRNA with AGO2 protein. (C) Putative HCP5 and RARRES3 mRNA interacting miRNAs, predicted by the DIANA microT-CDS algorithm with prediction score >0.6. (D) HCP5 overexpression increased the association of miR-1286 as well as other miRNAs with AGO2 protein in SKCM cells. (E) Putative miR-1286-binding site on the wild type 3ʹ UTR of RARRES3 (WT), which was mutated (MUT). (F) miR-1286 mimic transfection reduced the-expression of Gluc governed by wild-type 3ʹ UTR of RARRES3. (G and H) RARRES3 mRNA and protein level in SKCM was reduced by miR-1286 mimic transfection. *p<0.05. Abbreviations: SKCM, skin cutaneous melanoma; NC, normal control.
