Breviscapine Participates in the Progression of Prostate Cancer by Inhibiting ZFP91 Expression through Upregulation of MicroRNA-129-5p

Figure 4

Breviscapine inhibits the expression of ZFP91 by upregulating miR-129-5p. (a, b) After treatment of LNCap and PC3 cells with 20, 40, and 80 μg/ml breviscapine, the expression of ZFP91 was significantly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. (c, d) Simultaneous inhibition of miR-129-5p expression in LNCap and PC3 cells treated with breviscapine at a concentration of 40 μg/mL partially reversed the inhibitory effect of breviscapine on ZFP91 expression. (e, f) Simultaneously downregulating the expression of miR-129-5p partially reversed the inhibitory effect of breviscapine on the proliferation of LNCap and PC3 cells (, , and ).
