Figure 7. miR-154-3p directly targets ROCK1. (A) A schematic representation of putative miR-154-3p binding site in ROCK1. (B) Relative luciferase activity was examined in miR-154-3p and pGL3-ROCK1-wt or pGL3-ROCK1-mut co-transfected cells. (C, D) qRT-PCR and western blot assays for ROCK1 mRNA (C) (n = 60) and protein expression (D) (n = 8) in HB tissues and para-cancerous tissues.*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.
