[Retracted] Downregulated Expression of miRNA-130a-5p Aggravates Hepatoma Progression via Targeting PTP4A2

Figure 4

PTP4A2 overexpression reverses the effect of miRNA-130a-5p. (a) Expression levels of PTP4A2 in Hep3B cells cotransfected with PTP4A2 shRNA, miRNA-130a-5p inhibitors, and the respective controls, as determined by Western blotting. (b) Expression levels of PTP4A2 in LM3 cells cotransfected with LV-PTP4A2, LV-miRNA-130a-5p, and the respective controls, as determined by Western blotting. (c)–(f) Cell proliferation assays demonstrated that PTP4A2 promoted hepatoma cell viability and reversed the effect of miRNA-130a-5p on hepatoma cell proliferation.
