The miR-625-3p/AXL axis contributes to gefitinib resistance via the SMAD pathway. (A) Western blot analysis of AXL, phosphorylated (p)-AXL, Smad3, p-Smad3, ZEB1, Snail, MMP2, and MMP9 expression in the parental HCC827GR cells compared to HCC827 cells or in cells after transfection of miR-625-3p mimic or knockdown of AXL. (B) A diagram of the mechanism of miR-625-3p/AXL-mediated gefitinib resistance. Gas6, growth arrest specific 6; TGFβ, transforming growth factor β; AXL, AXL receptor tyrosine kinase;; ZEB1, zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1; MMP, matrix metalloproteinases; Snail, Snail family transcriptional repressor 1; p, phorphorylation; EMT, epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
