A Bioinformatic analysis of the potential target gene by prediction software(PicTar, miRTargetbase, Targetscan, miRDB). B TACG data base analysis of the expression level of PTK2 in HCC. C The person analysis the miRNA-138-5p and PTK2 expression correlation in HCC tissues. D, E The q-RT-PCR and western-blot assay analysis the PTK2 expression in miRNA-138-5p inhibition and overexpressed HCC cells. F The bioinformation analysis the binding site of miRNA-138-5p and PTK2. G, H The luciferase activity assay was used to verify the combination of miRNA-138-5p and PTK2. I The western blot analysis miRNA-138-5p targets the PTK2 expression involved in PI3K/AKT signal pathway. Data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05was regarded as statistically significant.
