PTEN is downregulated in VSCC tissues and cells. RT-qPCR was conducted to determine the expression levels of miR-4712-5p. PTEN expression was detected by western blot assay and immunohistochemical analysis. (A) mRNA expression levels of PTEN in 56 paired human VSCC samples and adjacent normal tissues; (B) PTEN mRNA expression levels in VSCC cells and VECs; (C) PTEN expression in VSCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues of 8 clinicopathological tissue samples via western blot assay; (D) PTEN expression in VSCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues via immunohistochemistry (magnification ×200, scale bar=100 µm); *P<0.05. PTEN, phosphatase and tensin homologue; VSCC, vulvar squamous cell carcinoma; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction; VECs, vaginal epithelial cells; N, normal.
