Fig. 2From: miR-221-5p enhances cell proliferation and metastasis through post-transcriptional regulation of SOCS1 in human prostate cancermiR-221-5p regulates migration of human prostate cancer cells. a, b Effect of miR-221-5p overexpression or silencing on PC3 cells migration in wound healing assay. Representative images were was taken at 0 and 24 h after the scratch and shown in the left panel. c, d Effect of miR-221-5p on cell migration in transwell assay. The representative images of cell migration (48 h after transfection) across a membrane with 8 mm pores. The images of the staining are shown in the left panel and the number of cells are shown in the right panel. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001Back to article page
