doi: 10.3892/ol.2018.9712
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of miR-142-5p and PLA2G16 on p-ERK1/2 protein expression, proliferation and apoptosis of HOS cells. HOS cells were transfected with miR-142-5p, miR-NC mimics and pcDNA3.1-PLA2G16 plasmids. (A) The expression level of p-Raf-1, Raf-1, p-MEK, MEK, p-ERK1/2, ERK1/2 and β-actin proteins. miR-142-5p transfection decreased the expression levels of p-Raf-1, p-MEK, and p-ERK1/2 proteins in HOS cells. (B) The expression levels of PLA2G16, p-ERK1/2, ERK1/2 and β-actin proteins were detected and measured. The PLA2G16 expression level was enhanced in HOS cells following transfection with pCDNA3.1-PLA2G16 and PLA2G16 overexpression rescued the reduced expression level of p-ERK1/2 protein associated with miR-142-5p transfection in HOS cells. (C) Apoptotic rate of HOS cells following transfection with miR-142-5p mimics either with or without pCDNA3.1-PLA2G16 at 24, 48 and 72 h. (D) CASP3 activity assays were conducted in HOS cells following transfection with miR-142-5p mimics either with or without pCDNA3.1-PLA2G16. *P<0.05 compared with control. #P<0.05 compared with miR-142-5p mimics. OD, optical density; p, phosphorylated; Raf-1, proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase 1, CASP3, Caspase-3; ERK1/2, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2; MEK, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase; NC, negative control; PLA2G16, group XVI phospholipase A2.
