Figure Lengend Snippet: miR-675-3p and miR-200a Directly Targeted IGF1R and PDCD4, Respectively (A) The sequence comparison between mature miR-675-3p and wild-type as well as mutant IGF1R 3′ UTR. (B) Luciferase activity of wild-type IGF1R 3′ UTR, but not that of mutant IGF1R 3′ UTR, in hPASMCs transfected with miR-675-3p mimic was much lower than scramble control (*p < 0.05 as compared with the control group). (C) Luciferase activity of wild-type IGF1R 3′ UTR, but not that of mutant IGF1R 3′ UTR, in rPASMCs transfected with miR-675 mimic was much lower than scramble control (*p < 0.05 as compared with the control group). (D) The sequence comparison between mature miR-200a and wild-type as well as mutant PDCD4 3′ UTR. (E) Luciferase activity of wild-type PDCD4 3′ UTR, but not that of mutant PDCD4 3′ UTR, in hPASMCs transfected with miR-675 mimic was downregulated compared with scramble control (*p < 0.05 as compared with the control group). (F) Transfecting with miR-200a mimic reduced luciferase activity of wild-type PDCD4 3′ UTR, but not that of mutant PDCD4 3′ UTR, in rPASMCs (*p < 0.05 as compared with the control group).
