miR-200a inhibited Dicer expression, therefore attenuating miR-16 maturation. a Relative miR-16 stability was evaluated by real-time PCR in T24T(Vector) vs. T24T(miR-200a) cells after treatment with Act D for indicated times. b Pre-miR-16 expression was evaluated in T24T(Vector) and T24T(miR-200a) cells using real-time PCR. Bars represent means ± SD from three independent experiments. c Extracts from T24T(Vector) and T24T(miR-200a) cells were used to evaluate effect of miR-200a on Dicer expression; GAPDH used as a protein loading control. d Extracts from T24T(Vector) and T24T(KO-Dicer) cells were used to evaluate Dicer expression. GAPDH used as a protein loading control. e miRNA expression levels were evaluated by real-time PCR in T24T(Vector) vs. T24T(KO-Dicer) cells. Results were normalized to U6. f Extracts from T24T (miR-200a/Vector) and T24T(miR-200a/flag-Dicer) cells were used to evaluate Dicer expression. GAPDH used as a protein loading control. g miRNA expression levels were evaluated by real-time PCR in T24T(miR-200a/Vector) and T24T(miR-200a/flag-Dicer) cells. Results were normalized to U6. h Relative pre-miR-16 expression level were evaluated in 24T (miR-200a/Vector) and T24T(miR-200a/flag-Dicer) cells. Bars present means ± SD from three independent experiments. T24T(miR-200a/Vector) and T24T (miR-200a/flag-Dicer) cell invasion abilities were evaluated using invasion chambers (i); and the relative invasion ability was plotted (j). k Relative Dicer mRNA level was analyzed in T24T(Vector) and T24T(miR-200a) cells. l Relative Dicer mRNA stability was evaluated by real-time PCR in T24T(Vector) vs. T24T(miR-200a) cells after treatment with Act D for indicated times. m Schematic of miR-200 binding site in Dicer mRNA 3′-UTR region and its mutants aligned with miR-200a. n T24T(Vector) and T24T(miR-200a) cells were co-transfected with wild-type and mutant Dicer 3′-UTR luciferase reporters and pRL-TK, respectively. Luciferase activity of each transfectant was evaluated and results were presented as relative Dicer 3′-UTR activity. *Significant difference in Dicer 3′-UTR activity (p< 0.01). o The schematic summary of molecular mechanisms underlying miR-200a overexpression in the promotion of human BC cell invasion
