Effect of miR-425 and miR-576 on tumor metastasis by inhibiting PTEN-P53/TGF-β axis in CRC Cells. (A, B) The levels of PTEN mRNA after miR-425/miR-576 overexpression (A) or knockdown (B) in HCT116 and SW480 cells detected by qPCR assay. (C, D) The changes in PTEN protein and P53 and TGF-β upon interfering miR-425 and/or miR-576 expression in HCT116 and SW480 cells detected by Western blot assay. (E) Dual-Luciferase reporter assay identifying the specific binding activities of PTEN 3′UTR with miR-425/miR-576 in HCT116 and HEK293T cells. (F–I) The cell migration abilities in CRC cells treated with mimics and inhibitors of miR-425 and/or miR-576 detected by cell migration assay. All tests were performed at least three times. Data were expressed as mean ± SD (ns, p > 0.05; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001).
