miR-10a binds to GATA6 and suppresses GATA6 expression.

<p>A. Pmir- glo dual luciferase plasmid containing a wild type or mutant GATA6-3′UTR was cotransfected with miR-10a mimics or mock into 293 cells. The relative luciferase activity was shown. *P<0.05, n = 5. B. Western blot shows the expression of GATA6 in hCMPCs transfected with mock and miR-10a mimics. C. The same experiment with mock and inhibitor. Quantification of protein expression was normalized to GAPDH. *P<0.05, n = 3. D. Overexpression of GATA6 rescues the miR-10a inhibitory effect on hCMPC proliferation. Protein expression of GATA6 with different treatment was showed. BrdU absorbance of hCMPCs transfected with mock, miR-10a mimics and siRNA that downregulated GATA6 are shown. Similar to miR-10a, the downregulation GATA6 in hCMPCs reduces proliferation. miR-10a mimics and a plasmid that overexpresses GATA6 were cotransfected into hCMPCs, and a reduced BrdU absorbance was not observed. *P<0.05, n = 6.
