Article Title: miR-205 Enhances Sensitivity to Genotoxic Agents in HNSCC Cells and Blocks Sphingosine Kinase 2 Action in Tumorigenicity
doi: 10.1021/acsomega.5c06726
Figure Lengend Snippet: miRNA-205 promotes radiosensitivity in SK2-expressing cell lines. (A) Orospheres formed on miR-205 overexpression in NOK-SK2 (pcDNA-miR-205) cells compared to control NOK-SK2 (pcDNA) post-UV exposure. Adhesion sphere assay (B); colony formation was determined by colony formation assay (C); and single spheres (D) on NOK-SK2 (pcDNA-miR-205) cells compared to control NOK-SK2 (pcDNA). (E) Western blot analysis for the protein levels of ZEB2, STAT3, p53Ac, and Snail. Images of spheres were obtained with a microscope. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.0001.
