Fig. 3. MiR-138 regulates MYC target gene expression.

Fig. 3

A Western blot (left panel) and densitometry quantification (right panel) showing the protein expression of MYC target genes upon the overexpression of miR-138 (138) in HCT116 and DLD-1 cell lines. B RT-qPCR analysis of CDK4, CDK6 and p27 transcript enrichment upon biotinylated miR-138 pulldown in HCT116 and DLD-1 cell lines. C The sequences of the wild-type (WT) and mutant miR-138 MREs on the CDK6 transcript (top panel) and the effect of miR-138 overexpression on the luciferase activity of the MRE-reporter constructs (bottom panel) in HCT116 (left panel) and DLD-1 (right panel) cell lines. RC denotes the reverse complement of miR-138 which was used as positive control. D Western blot (top panel) and densitometry quantification (bottom panel) of p27 protein expression upon the knockdown of MYC in HCT116 and DLD-1 cell lines. Mean ± SEM; N ≥ 3. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
