Figure Lengend Snippet: miR-138-5p overexpression partially regulates stem cell marker hTERT transcript levels, but does not alter another stem cell marker ALDH1A2. ( a ) Real-time PCR analysis of miR-138-5p after isolating total miRNAs from miR-138-5p transfected 250 nM FAC-treated cells relative to control transfected FAC-treated and Untreated FT194 cells, at days 122, 125 and 129 of FAC treatment (p = 35, 36, and 37) to validate the overexpression. ( b ) Western blotting was performed for cell lysates collected from miR-138-5p transfected and control transfected Untreated and FAC-treated FT194 cells to analyze ALDH1A2 levels at days 119, 122, and 126 of FAC treatment ( p = 35–37). White space between cropped blots delineate different antibody applications to the same blot. The full-length uncropped blots are displayed in the Supplementary Information File. ( c ) Western blotting was performed using cell lysates collected from control or miR-432-5p or miR-127-3p, transfected Untreated and FAC-treated FT194 cells with the indicated antibodies at days 123, 131, and 137 of FAC treatment ( p = 35, 37, and 38). White space between cropped blots delineate different antibody applications to the same blot. The full-length uncropped blots are displayed in the Supplementary Information File. ( d ) The predicted miR-138-5p binding site in the TERT sequence is shown. ( e ) Real-time PCR analysis of TERT in miR-138-5p transfected FAC-treated FT194 cells, relative to control transfected Untreated and FAC-treated FT194 cells after isolating miRNAs at days 119, 122, and 126 of FAC treatment ( p = 35–37). The data is the composite of three independent experiments.
