Effects of changed miR-142-5p expression along with MEK, AKT, and PI3K
inhibitors on HREC proliferation. (a and b) Influences of suppressed
miR-142-5p level with PI3K inhibitor LY294002 or MEK inhibitor PD0325901
on the IGF1/IGF1R-mediated signaling pathway and VEGF levels were
detected by Western blot method under NG condition. (c) Role of enhanced
miR-142-5p level accompanying with AKT agonist SC-79 in the expressions
of IGF1/IGF1R-mediated signaling pathway and VEGF levels were measured
by Western blot assay to HG treatment. (d) Effects of prohibition the
miR-142-5p level meanwhile with treatment of LY294002 or PD0325901 on
the HRECs viability were tested by CCK8 assay under NG treatment. (e)
Influences of miR-142-5p mimic following with SC-79 treatment on the
HRECs proliferation were examined by CCK8 assay upon HG treatment. (f
and g) Functions of co-treatment of miR-142-5p inhibitor and PI3K, MEK
inhibitor on Ki-67 levels were checked by IF assay, respectively. (h)
Effects of co-treated miR-142-5p mimic and AKT activator were measured
by IF method under HG condition. Scale bar = 50 µm. (mean ± SD;
*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01,
***P < 0.001).
