Suppression of microRNA-18a expression inhibits invasion and promotes apoptosis of human trophoblast cells by targeting the estrogen receptor α gene
4 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
The purpose of the present study was to gain further understanding of the function of microRNA-18a (miR-18a) expression in the JEG-3 human trophoblast cell line. JEG-3 cells were transfected with pre-miR-18a mimics or miR-18a inhibitors. The effects of miR-18a on trophoblast cell invasion and apoptosis, and on the expression of estrogen receptor α (ESRα) were analyzed using a Transwell invasion assay, flow...
