Fentanyl Exerts an Antitumor Effect on Papillary Thyroid Cancer by Regulating the miR-204/KLF5 Axis

Figure 2

Fentanyl reversed the PTC cell viability and invasion via upregulation of miR-204. (a) The expression of miR-204 was increased by fentanyl treatment in a concentration-dependent manner (>5 ng/ml). (b) CCK-8 assays showed that downregulation of miR-204 reversed the suppression of cell viability caused by fentanyl. (c, d) Transwell assays demonstrated that miR-204 downregulation antagonized the anti-invasion effects induced by fentanyl. Repeated measurement ANOVA with Bonferroni corrections was used for statistical analysis in (b) and one-way ANOVA was used in other panels. .
