MiR-185-3p inhibited the activity of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by inhibiting cathepsin D. (A) qRT-PCR analysis of cathepsin D level after transfection with p-cathepsin D or p-NC. (B) Western blotting analysis of PI3K/Akt related proteins. Transfection with p-cathepsin D could increase the level of p-PI3K and p-Akt (Ser 473), which was compromised by either transfection with miR-185-3p mimics or the administration of LY294002. The quantification of investigated proteins was normalized against GAPDH. *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01.
