miR-139-5p Regulates the Proliferation of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells by Targeting MNT

Figure 2

The interaction between miR-139-5p and MNT. (a) Predicted binding sites for miR-139-5p and MNT. The sequence of the mutant 3′-UTR of MNT is presented. (b) Luciferase assays showed a decrease in relative luciferase activity in 293T cells cotransfected with miR-139-5p and MNT. Mutated 3′-UTR MNT plasmid was used as the control. (c) The protein levels of MNT in NB4 cells transfected with or without miR-139-5p or combined with MNT were evaluated by western blot analysis. (d) The protein levels of MNT in APL patients of leukocytosis and nonleukocytosis groups were evaluated by western blot analysis. Three independent experiments were performed. .
