[Retracted] miR-206 Targets MALAT1 to Suppress Cell Progression of Ectopic Endometrial Stromal Cells in Endometriosis

Figure 6

miR-206 suppressed cell progression by regulating MALAT1 in ESCs. (a) pcDNA-MALAT1 effectively alleviated the inhibition effect of miR-206 mimic on ESC proliferation. (b) pcDNA-MALAT1 effectively alleviated the inhibition of miR-206 mimic on ESC cloning. (c, d) pcDNA-MALAT1 effectively alleviated the inhibition of miR-206 mimic on ESC migration and invasion (magnification, 200×). (e) pcDNA-MALAT1 effectively inhibited the apoptosis of ESCs after transfection with miR-206 mimic. (f) Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2 and Bax). (g) Caspase-3/7 activity was detected in ESCs transfected with pcDNA-MALAT1 or miR-206.  < 0.05;  < 0.01; # < 0.05 vs. miR-206 mimic + pcDNA-NC group or NC-mimic + pcDNA-MALAT1 group.
