miR-1178-3p is highly expressed in BC tissues and exerts oncogenic roles in BC cells. a and b Relative expression levels of miR-1178-3p in BC tissues (a) and cell lines (b) were measured by qRT-PCR. c and d The colony formation ability of T24 and UM-UC-3 cells transfected with miR-1178-3p mimics or inhibitor was tested by colony formation assay. e and f The migratory and invasive abilities of T24 and UM-UC-3 cells transfected with miR-1178-3p mimics or inhibitors were measured by transwell migration and Matrigel invasion assays. a, **P < 0.01 (Wilcoxon rank-sum test); b-f, data are presented as the means±SEM of three experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test)
