Fig. 5. MiR-532-5p promotes proliferation and migration by targeting PTEN in U2OS and HOS cells.

Fig. 5

a, b Expression of PTEN after treatment with different miR-532-5p concentrations was determined by a western blot assay and an RT–qPCR assay. ****p < 0.0001. cf Cell proliferation ability changes in HOS and U2OS cells were determined by CCK8 and EdU assays, respectively. ****p < 0.0001. g, h Cell migration and invasion ability changes in HOS and U2OS cells were measured by a transwell assay. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001. i The targeted binding effect between miR-532-5p and PTEN was confirmed by a luciferase assay. The left panel shows the online prediction result by using TargetScan (http://www.targetscan.org/vert_72/), and the middle and right panels display the results of relative luminance changes. n.sp > 0.05 and *p < 0.05. All data are presented as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments.
