Figure 5. Transfection of microRNA-34
b/c reduced uveal melanoma cell migration. Transwell migration
assay of uveal melanoma cell lines was performed. SP6.5 cells
were transfected with miR-34b/c or a negative control (NC) for
24 h and plated on cultured inserts in DMEM containing 20 ng/ml
of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to assess the number of
migrating cells. The number of cells that had migrated through
the pores was quantified by counting 10 independent visual
fields using a 20× microscope objective. *: Differences in cell
migration between miR-34b/c and negative control transfected
cells were significant, p<0.01.
