[Retracted] MiR-483 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Cell Biological Progression by Directly Targeting NDRG2 through Regulation of the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway and Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition

Figure 4

MiR-483 promoted the EMT and activated the phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. (a) The mRNA level of NDRG2 in nonnecrotic colon tissues was higher than that in colorectal cancer tissues. (b) NDRG2 was lowly expressed in colorectal cancer cells than normal cells. (c) Western blot illuminated that miR-483 promoted the EMT through NDRG2. (d) MiR-483 activated the PI3K/AKT pathway. . NT: normal tissues; CRC: colorectal cancer; N-Ca : N-cadherin; E-Ca : E-cadherin; and GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase.
