[Retracted] HMGB3 Targeted by miR-145-5p Impacts Proliferation, Migration, Invasion, and Apoptosis of Breast Cancer Cells

Figure 5

miR-145-5p suppresses BC cell phenotype progression through targeting HMGB3. (a) Level of HMGB3 mRNA of cells in the groups. (b) Changes of cell morphology as detected by an inverted microscope. (c) Protein levels of E-cadherin, vimentin, N-cadherin, and HMGB3 cells in treatment groups. (d) Cell proliferation in treatment groups. (e) Cell invasion in treatment groups (magnification: 100x; migrating cell numbers are the average value of 5 random fields). (f) Cell migration in transfection groups (magnification: 40x; ). (g) Apoptotic level of cells in transfection groups. Data were analyzed via Student’s -test. Samples in each group were plated in triplicate. Each assay was performed 3 times. .
