A Predicted target genes of miR-222-3p using TargetScan, miRDB, and miRWalk and the four overlapping target genes. Correlation analysis between miR-222-3p and HIPK2 using data from B TCGA database and C our center. D The expression of HIPK2 in Panc1 and Mia-PaCa2 cells transfected with empty control or miR-222-3p mimics or inhibitor. E Luciferase activity in HEK-293T cells cotransfected with the HIPK2 wild-type or mutant sequence and miR-222-3p mimics. Correlation analysis between LINC00261 and HIPK2 using data from F TCGA database and G our center. The expression of HIPK2 in H Panc1 and I Mia-PaCa2 cells cotransfected with the LINC00261 overexpression vector and miR-222-3p mimics. The protein levels of the HIPK2/ERK/c-myc axis and c-myc target genes in J Panc1 and K Mia-PaCa2 cells. L Luciferase activity in HEK-293T cells cotransfected with LINC00261 overexpression vector and miR-222-3p mimics. The data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
