Restoration of MFAP3L expression attenuates the effects of miR-671-5p on the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-associated protein expression. 95D cells were transfected with miR-NC or miR-671-5p mimics and MFAP3L or empty vector. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the protein expression levels of PCNA, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin in transfected 95D cells. **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 vs. miR-NC + vector; ^#P<0.05 and ^###P<0.001 vs. miR-671-5p mimics + vector. MFAP3L, microfibril-associated protein 3-like; miR, microRNA; NC, negative control; PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen.
