Figure 4From: MicroRNA-34a modulates genes involved in cellular motility and oxidative phosphorylation in neural precursors derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells MiR-34a regulates cell motility. (A-B) WJ-MSCs were transfected with siRNA against miR-34a, or with a scramble siRNA negative control. MiR-34a expression levels were detected by real time RT-PCR (A), and the relative cell migration ability was measured at 48 h posttransfection (B). Data shown represent an average of 10 wells. Asterisks, P < 0.05. (C-D) WJ-MSCs were transfected with miR-34a or with scramble oligonucleotides. MiR-34a levels were detected by real time PCR (C) and the relative cell migration ability was measured at 48 h posttransfection (D).Back to article page
