MALAT1 binds to miR-1-3p and regulates CORO1C expression. (A) The seed sequence of miR-1-3p bound to MALAT1. (B) The seed sequence of miR-1-3p bound to the 3′UTR of CORO1C mRNA. (C) The expression levels of miR-1-3p in LNCaP and 22RV1 cells were detected following overexpression or inhibition of miR-1-3p. (D) Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed in 293T cells to confirm the direct binding between miR-1-3p and MALAT1. (E) Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used for detection of MALAT1 expression levels following transfection with miR-1-3p mimics or inhibitor in LNCaP and 22RV1 cells. (F) The binding of miR-1-3p to CORO1C 3′UTR was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. (G) Western blotting and (H) quantitative analysis of the CORO1C expression levels in LNCaP and 22RV1 cells following transfection with the miR-1-3p mimic or inhibitor were examined. (I) Western blotting and (J) quantitative analysis of the protein levels of CORO1C in prostate cancer cells were determined following interference of MALAT1 and miR-1-3p. (K) The firefly/Renilla value of CORO1C 3′UTR was determined following overexpression of miR-1-3p and MALAT1 in 293T cells. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001.
