Effects of miR-338-3p on osteosarcoma cellular proliferation, invasion and migration. (A) qRT-PCR assay was applied to measure the expression level of miR-338-3p expression with miR-338-3p mimics or miR-338-3p inhibitors in osteosarcoma cells. (B, C) The proliferative ability MNNG/HOS and MG-63 cell was investigated via cell viability and colony formation with miR-338-3p mimics or miR-338-3p inhibitors in osteosarcoma cells. (D) EdU incorporation assays were performed to assess the cell proliferation ability. Scale bars = 100μm. (E, F) Transwell assay was exploited to explore the invasive and migratory ability with miR-338-3p mimics or miR-338-3p inhibitors in osteosarcoma cells. (G) Mobility was evaluated by wound-healing assay. Scale bars = 100μm. (H) Images of tumors after removal from the mice. MNNG/HOS cells were transfected with miR-338-3p mimics or miR-338-3p inhibitors or miR-NC and then injected subcutaneously into nude mice (n=5), respectively. (I) Tumor growth curve. Tumor volumes were measured every five days after injection of tumor cells. (J) Tumor weight when tumors were harvested. Data was presented as mean ± SD from three independent experiments. *, P <0.05.
