MiR-9-5p regulates the expression of Numb and several stemness-related genes. (A) StarBase 3.0 was used to detect differences in the expression in normal tissue and primary tumors. (B) Detection of the difference in miR-9-5p expression in CD44+ and CD44− PC3 cells. (C) The TCGA database was used to detect the relationship between Numb and miR-9-5p in PCa patients (FPKM = Fragments Per Kilobase Million). (D) Prediction of miR-9 binding sites in Numb using miRanda. (E) Detection of the expression of Numb/Notch 1 signaling pathway-associated and stemness molecules after overexpression of miR-9-5p in PC3 and DU145 cells. (F) A luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the direct binding of miR-9-5p in the NUMB 3′-UTR in PC3 cells. (G) Western blotting was used to detect Numb and Sirt1 expression in PC3 and DU145 cells overexpressing miR-9-5p and the experiments were repeated 3 times by using independent sample sets. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
