MicroRNA-1290 promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell proliferation and metastasis

Figure 4 MiR-1290 enhances the migration and invasion of Eca109 and TE13 cells. Transwell migration assays were carried out in Eca109 and TE13 cells transfected with either miR-1290 mimic (A) or miR-1290 inhibitor (B). Representative fields of migrating cells on the membrane are presented. The histogram shows the number of migrating cells from three independent experiments. Overexpression (C) and under-expression of miR-1290 in Eca109 and TE13 cells (D) showed similar results in both invasion and migration assays. ^bP < 0.01 vs control. nc: Negative control; inhi: Inhibitor; inc: Inhibitor negative control.
