Supplementary Figure 5 from miR-34a Silences c-SRC to Attenuate Tumor Growth in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

<p>Figure S5, Related to Figure 6. A, Assessment of SRC mRNA levels in MDA-MB-231 SRC-ORF, EMPTY-ORF, or parental cell lines. Data is normalized in RPL19 levels. B, Crystal violet staining assays on day 5 post-transfection confirms the ability of c-SRC to rescue miR-34a-induced anti-tumor growth. C-D, Examples of Pearson correlation analysis indicating MDA-MB-231 cells were not similar to BT-549 and MDA-MB-436 cells, and therefore were not included in the initial K-Means clustering analysis (results shown in D). E, The fold knockdown by miR-34a as compared to the miR-Scr treatments of the indicated genes in Clusters 1-3 in both BT-549 and MDA-MB-436 cells using a 2-fold change cut-off. None of the genes in Cluster 4 were downregulated by miR-34a (data not shown). F, Schematic of the KEGG pathway (hsa04510: Focal Adhesion) with miR-34a downregulated genes highlighted in red. G-H, Represents further analysis of the miR-34a gene signature in breast cancer. G, Indicates correlation analyses of miR-34a target genes in TNBC patients from Metabric data. H, Confirmation of prognostic importance of mIR-34a gene signature using a PROGgeneV2 algorithm on the TCGA data set.</p>
