Acidic Tumor Microenvironment Promotes Pancreatic Cancer through miR-451a/MEF2D Axis

Figure 6

Tumor acidic microenvironment regulates the function of mitochondria via miR-451a/MEF2D axis. Under acidic conditions, PANC-1 cells were transfected with miR-451a mimics, pc-MEF2D, and the corresponding control group. (a) The oxygen consumption rate. (b) JC-1 staining was used to detect MMP loss of PANC-1 cells. (c) DCFH staining was used to detect ROS generation of PANC-1 cells. Error bars, mean ± SD from three independent experiments. ^$ < 0.05, ^## < 0.01, and  < 0.001.
