Role of siPIK3R1, miR-342-5p inhibitor and the combination of miR-342-5p inhibitor with siPIK3R1 on cell proliferation and migration. (A) Transfection efficiency of siPIK3R1 was determined using RT-qPCR. (B) The mRNA expression levels of miR-342-5p were detected using RT-qPCR following transfection. (C) A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to determine cell proliferation. (D) Quantification of cell migration rates in 5 experimental groups. (E) Representative cell migration in 5 experimental groups detected using a wound healing assay. Magnification, x200. ^^P<0.01 vs. siNC; *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. NC; ##P<0.01 vs. NC + siPIK3R1. miR, microRNA; siPIK3R1, si, small interfering; PIK3R1, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit α; NC, miR-342-5p inhibitor negative control; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR.
