miR-338 promotes an epithelial phenotype in gastric cancer.

<p>(A) Right panel: NRP1 expression was detected by western blot in AGS cells after treatment with 3 independent siRNA sequences (siNRP1) or a control (siC). Left panel: Relative expression of NRP1 was shown in the histogram. (B) Right panel: An immunoblot analysis of N-cadherin, vimentin, fibronectin, E-cadherin and SNAIL in AGS cells transfected with siNRP1 or siC. Left panel: Relative expression of proteins was shown in the histogram. (C) An immunoblot analysis of N-cadherin, vimentin, fibronectin, E-cadherin and SNAIL in AGS cells infected with LV-hsa-mir-338 or cont-miR, with or without NRP1 restoration. The protein expression levels were normalized to GAPDH. The data represent the means±s.d.; * p<0.01.
