Induction of miR-205-5p attenuates GGCT-mediated PTC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT process, tumorigenic ability, and distant metastatic potential to the lung. (a) Cell viability was examined by CCK8 after overexpression of miR-205-5p in K1-Control or K1-GGCT cell lines. Cell migration (b-c) and invasion (d-e) potentials were determined by wound healing and transwell assays. (f) Expression of epithelial marker (E-cadherin) and mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, CD44, MMP2 and MMP9) was analyzed by Western blotting after miR-205-5p overexpression in K1-GGCT cells. (g) Quantification of WB experiments was normalized to β-Actin control. (h) Tumorigenic ability was assessed after miR-205-5p overexpression in K1-GGCT cells. (i) Dissected tumor weights in each group were depicted as dot plots. (j) Tumor lung metastasis was assayed after miR-205-5p overexpression in K1-GGCT cells. (k) The histogram denotes luciferase bioluminescence emitted from the lungs in each group 21 days post tumor injection. **: P < 0.01, ***: P < 0.001.
