Fig. 1. The expression pattern of miR-488 in breast cancer cell lines and its effect on the proliferation rate of breast cancer cells.

Fig. 1

A The expression of miR-488 was significantly decreased in all examined breast cancer cell lines, especially in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. B The suppression of endogenous miR-488 in MCF-7 cells significantly changed their morphology with obvious pseudopodia stretching out (red arrows). C The increased expression of miR-488 was conducted through transfecting miR-488 mimic. D The proliferation rate of MDA-MB-231 cells was significantly suppressed with exogenous miR-488 by a miR-488 mimic. E The number of cell colonies was decreased in MDA-MB-231 cells treated by a miR-488 mimic. F The decreased expression of miR-488 was performed through transfecting miR-488 inhibitors. G The proliferation rate of MCF-7 cells was promoted by miR-488 inhibitors to suppressing the endogenous miR-488. H The number of MCF-7 cell colonies was formed more in the miR-488 inhibitor-treated group than that in negative control (NC) cells. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001.
