Fig. 4From: miR-3156-3p is downregulated in HPV-positive cervical cancer and performs as a tumor-suppressive miRNAmiR-3156-3p downregulates SLC6A6 expression at the post-transcriptional level in cervical cancer cells. a Protein level of SLC6A6 was detected by Western blot in Caski and SiHa cells transfected with miR-3156-3p inhibitor and mimics along with corresponding negative controls, respectively. b SLC6A6 mRNA level was examined by qRT-PCR in Caski and SiHa cells transfected with a miR-3156-3p inhibitor, mimics and corresponding controls. c HEK293 cells were co-transfected with miR-3156-3p and WT or Mut SLC6A6 3’UTR luciferase reporter construct.
