Hsa-let-7d-5p Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression by Targeting PRDM5

Figure 4

Let-7d-5p promotes GC cells proliferation and inhibits cell apoptosis through regulating PRDM5. Let-7d-5p inhibitor or/and si-PRDM5AGS were transfected into SGC-7901 cells. (a) CCK-8 assay to detect cell viability of AGS and SGC-7901 cells transfected with let-7d-5p inhibitor or/and si-PRDM5. (b) Colony formation assays for cell proliferation. (c) Flow cytometry analysis of the apoptosis rate. (d) The expression levels of antiapoptotic protein (Bcl-2) and proapoptosis proteins (Bax, Cleaved caspase-3, and Cleaved caspase-9) were detected by Western blot. Values are mean ± SD, #, ## vs. let-7d-5p inhibitor, , vs. NC inhibitor + si-NC, n = 3 per group.
