Figure 6. miR-140-5p partially reverses the effect of FEN1 in vitro. (A and B) Representative images of transwell chamber assays and quantification of the number of cells that successfully migrated or invaded through the basement membrane. Data represent mean ± SD of three independent experiments, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. (C and D) Western blot analysis of EMT markers in HCC cells overexpressing FEN1 which were transfected with miR-140-5p.
