Fig. 5. MiR-512-5p acted as a tumor suppressor in BC.

Fig. 5

a MiR-512-5p level was detected in BC tissues and paired adjacent tissues (N = 40). b The expression of miR-512-5p in BC cells (MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and BT549) was compared to that in mammary epithelial cells, MCF-10A. c Efficiency of miR-512-5p inhibitor and mimics were determined by RT-qPCR. de The proliferation of MDA-MB-231 (d) and MCF-7 (e) cells was detected by MTT assay after transfecting with miR-NC or miR-512-5p inhibitor. fg Wound-healing assay was conducted to compare the migration of MDA-MB-231 cells in miR-NC group and miR-512-5p inhibitor group. Photographs were taken at 0 h and 24 h after scratching (f). Wound closure was analyzed (g). hi Colony formation assay was performed in miR-NC group and miR-512-5p inhibitor group in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells (h). The number of cell colonies were counted (i). jk The protein levels of PCNA in miR-NC group and miR-512-5p inhibitor group were detected by western blotting. ACTIN was employed as internal control. lm MTT assay was conducted to compare the proliferation of miR-NC group or miR-512-5p mimics group in MDA-MB-231 (l) and MCF-7 (m) cells. no The migration of MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with miR-NC or miR-512-5p mimics was analyzed by wound-healing assay. Photographs were taken at 0 and 24 h after scratching (n). Wound closure was analyzed (o). pq Colony formation assay was performed to compare the colony formation ability of BC cells in the miR-NC group and miR-512-5p mimics group (p). The number of cell colonies were counted (q). rs The protein level of PCNA in miR-NC group and miR-512-5p mimics group were analyzed by western blotting. The expression level was normalized to ACTIN. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.
