Article Title: LncRNA C2orf27A Promotes Gastric Cancer by Sponging MiR-610 and Elevating NOX4 Expression
doi: 10.7150/jca.100621
Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. MiR-610 blocks the malignant behavior of GC cells by inhibiting NOX4 expression. (A, B) The data from TCGA-STAD and GTEx indicated that NOX4 expression was significantly higher in GC tissues than that in normal gastric tissues (unpaired and paired samples). (C) The correlation analysis of miR-610 and NOX4 expression in GC tissues based on TCGA-STAD. (D) Bioinformatics analysis using DIANA-microT-CDS showed the putative binding site between miR-610 and NOX4. (E) Luciferase reporter gene assays revealed that miR-610 negatively regulated the luciferase activity of NOX4-WT rather than that of the mutant NOX4-MUT. (F, G) qRT-PCR and western blot were used to detect NOX4 levels after transfecting miR-610 mimics into HGC-27 cells. (H-K) NOX4 overexpression partially offset the functions of miR-610 mimics on proliferation, colony formation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis of HGC-27 cells. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P <0.001, ns: no significance.
Article Snippet: After blocking with 10% skim milk for an hour at room temperature, the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against NOX4 (1:2000) and GAPDH (1:6000, Proteintech, China).
