Fig. 2From: MAP3K1-targeting therapeutic artificial miRNA suppresses the growth and invasion of breast cancer in vivo and in vitroTransfection of Map3k1 amiRNA significantly impaired cellular level of MEKK1 and downstream MAPK pathways in breast cancer cells. a Real-time PCR analysis of the interference efficiencies of different Map3k1 amiRNA constructs. b Time-dependence of MAP3K1 mRNA expression following Map3k1 amiRNA transfection using real-time PCR analysis. c Western blot detection of MEKK1 expression after Map3k1 amiRNA transfection. d The bar chart indicates the ratio of MEKK1 protein expression to GAPDH using densitometry after Map3k1 amiRNA transfection. e Determining the influence of Map3k1 amiRNA-3 overexpression on the levels of p-ERK, p-p38 and p-JNK MAPKs using western blot analysis. f Quantitative analysis of the intensities of MAPK protein bands relative to GAPDH in the indicated groups (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01)Back to article page
