a Analysis using TargetScan, miRanda, and miRDB revealed that several miRNAs might regulate GLUT1. b The miR-148a mRNA level was analyzed in 28 iCCA and paracancerous specimens using qRT-PCR. c Kaplan–Meier survival analyses were conducted to assess the influence of miR-148a on overall survival. d The binding site of miR-148a in the wild-type (WT) 3′-untranslated region (UTR) of GLUT1 and the corresponding mutant type were constructed. e A luciferase assay of GLUT1 3′-UTR and GLUT1 3′-UTR-mut reporters cotransfected with a miR-148a mimic or miR-148a inhibitor in the indicated cells. f MiR-148a overexpression or silencing decreased or increased GLUT1 mRNA in the indicated cells. g Correlation analysis indicated an inverse correlation between miR-148a and GLUT1 expression. Data are means ± SD of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
