MiR-139-3p inhibitor reversed the regulatory effect of shPCAT6 on the expressions of apoptosis-related factors in PA cells. a, b The expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, and Cleaved caspase-3 in RC-4B/C and GH3 cells after transfection were detected by Western blot assay. c, d The protein levels of E-cadhein and N-cadherin were detected by Western blot.
