Article Title: CircANKRD52 Augments the Growth and Invasion of Melanoma Cells by Sponging miR ‐141‐3p and Upregulating PRKACB
doi: 10.1111/jcmm.70909
Figure Lengend Snippet: PRKACB is identified as a direct target of miR‐141‐3p in melanoma cells. (A) RT‐qPCR analysis of the PRKACB expression in melanoma and the adjacent normal tissues. (B) Pearson's correlation analysis of the correlations of PRKACB with miR‐141‐3p or circANKRD52 expression in melanoma tissues. (C, D) RT‐qPCR and Western blot analysis of the expression of PRKACB in A375, SK‐MEL‐28, and melanocytes. (E) The dual luciferase reporter assay indicated the binding between miR‐141‐3p and PRKACB 3'UTR. (F) RT‐qPCR analysis of the expression of PRKACB after transfection with oe‐circANKRD52 into A375 cells or sh‐circANKRD52 into SK‐MEL‐28 cells. (G) RT‐qPCR analysis of the expression of PRKACB after transfection with miR‐141‐3p mimic into A375 cells or miR‐141‐3p inhibitor into SK‐MEL‐28 cells. Data shown are the mean ± SEM of three experiments. * p < 0.05. # p < 0.05.
Article Snippet: Human malignant melanoma cell lines A375, Hs294T, SK‐MEL‐28 were procured from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and melanocytes were used as the control cells.
