MiR-548x and miR-4698 inhibited AKT1 protein expression in human glioblastoma cell lines. Protein expression was investigated 72 h post-transduction by western-blot analysis. Overexpression of miR-548x or miR-4698 could decrease the protein expression of AKT1 in A-172 (A) and U251 (B) cell lines compared with the control cells. Also, western blot analysis indicated a reduction in protein level of AKT1 in A-172and U251 (C,D) cell lines compared with the respective control. Protein normalization was achieved with β-actin for AKT1. Data are presented as mean ± SD of results from 3 independent investigations, (∗P < 0.05) as compared with the control.
