Figure Lengend Snippet: RP11-805J14.5 regulates CCND2 expression via sponging miR-34b-3p and miR-139-5p. (A) Luciferase assays were used to confirm the binding of miR-34b-3p and miR-139-5p to CCND2 in 293T cells. ***P<0.001 vs. miR-NC. (B) The mRNA levels of CCND2 were determined using RT-qPCR after the overexpression of miR-34b-3p and inhibition of miR-139-5p. ***P<0.001 vs. mimic NC or inhibitor NC. (C) The protein levels of CCND2 were determined using western blotting after the overexpression of miR-34b-3p and inhibition of miR-139-5p. (D) The mRNA levels of CCND2 were determined using RT-qPCR in A549 and H1650 cells co-transfected with siRNAs targeting RP11-805J14.5 and miR-34b-3p inhibitor or miR-139-5p inhibitor. (E) The protein levels of CCND2 were determined using western blotting in A549 and H1650 cells after co-transfection with siRNAs targeting RP11-805J14.5 and miR-34b-3p inhibitor or miR-139-5p inhibitor. All experiments were conducted at least three times. ***P<0.001 vs. si-NC; and ## P<0.01 vs. si-RP11-805J14.5. CCND2, cyclin D2; miR, microRNA; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR; si-, small interfering; NC, negative control; WT, wild-type; MUT, mutant; In, inhibitor.
