From: Downregulation of microRNA-182-5p contributes to renal cell carcinoma proliferation via activating the AKT/FOXO3a signaling pathway

Figure 5

Downregulation of FLOT1 phencopied the effect of miR-182-5p. (A) Western blot analysis showed reduction of FLOT1 protein after siFLOT1 treatment. (B) CCK-8 assay. The relative cell viability of the siFLOT1 transfected group was significantly lower than that of NC transfected. (C) Colony formation assay (Representative wells were presented). The colony formation rate was significantly lower for siFLOT1 treated group compared with NC treated group. (D) Flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle distribution. Down expression of FLOT1 induced a significant accumulation of cells in G1-phase and blocks G1-S entry. (E) Western blotting analysis of indicated proteins. (F) FOXO3a activity was strongly activated by downregulation of FLOT1. (G) Real-time PCR analysis of the expression of CCND1 and CDK4 mRNA; GAPDH was used as a loading control. Error bars represent the S.D. from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05.
