Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of miR-145 and miR-23b co-transfection on the proliferation of EOC cells. Cell proliferation was assessed using Ki-67 immunofluorescence staining and EOC cell quantification was conducted using Ki-67 immunofluorescence images (red cells). Representative immunofluorescence images of Ki-67 (red) in (A) A2780, (C) SKOV-3 and (E) OV-90 cells. Magnification, ×400; scale bar, 50 µm. Semi-quantitative analysis of Ki-67 immunofluorescence in (B) A2780, (D) SKOV-3 and (F) OV-90 cells was conducted using Image Pro-Plus 6.2 computer software. Data for semi-quantification of fluorescence were normalized to the Control condition. n=4 (4–6 images per condition). Semi-quantitative analysis of Ki-67-positive EOC cells (red) in (G) A2780, (H) SKOV-3 and (I) OV-90 cells was carried out using the Fiji ImageJ program. n=4 (3–4 images per condition were analyzed; magnification, ×400). Conditions were normalized to the Control. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 compared vs. Control (Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's post hoc test). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. miR, microRNA; EOC, epithelial ovarian cancer; Mix, combination of miR-145 and miR-23b; Sc, scrambled sequence.
Article Snippet: The A2780 cells originate from a human patient with primary EOC without chemotherapy treatment, and were obtained from the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures.
