Inhibition of miR-93-5p could reduce SK-MEL-28 cells' invasive ability through UBC. (A) The miR-93-5p and UBC expression data of 449 melanoma patients from ENCORI. We observed the inverse correlation with statistical significance between miR-93-5p and UBC mRNA. (B) Diagram of UBC 3'UTR including 1 putative conserved target sites for miR-93-5p, recognized through making use of the TargetScan database. (C) Results of luciferase reporter experiments in SK-MEL-28 cells, with co-transfection of wt or mt 3'UTR and miR mimic, as shown. (D) The protein expression of UBC in SK-MEL-28 cells transfected with miR-93-5p. (E) SK-MEL-28 transfected with miR-93-5p inhibitor invaded less vs. control cancer cells, and the anti-invasive effect by miR-93-5p inhibitor was reduced when the expression of UBC was decreased by its siRNA. **P < 0.01 miR-93-5p inhibitor vs. control, ##P < 0.01 miR-93-5p inhibitor vs. miR-93-5p inhibitor+siUBC.
