Fig. 3From: The members of the miR-148/152 family inhibit cancer stem cell-like properties in gastric cancer via negative regulation of ITGA5Silencing ITGA5 inhibits the stem cell properties of CD44+EpCAM+ cells. A Numbers of colonies of CD44+EpCAM+ cells following overexpression of ITGA5. B Sphere-forming ability of CD44+EpCAM+ cells examined by sphere-forming assay. C Numbers of migrated CD44+EpCAM+ cells following overexpression of ITGA5. D Viability of CD44+EpCAM+ cells following overexpression of ITGA5 measured by CCK-8 assay. E Drug resistance of CD44+EpCAM+ cells following overexpression of ITGA5 measured by CCK-8 assay. F Expression of CD44, EpCAM and CD24 in CD44+EpCAM+ cells following overexpression of ITGA5 measured by RT-qPCR. *p < 0.05 compared with sh-NC. #p < 0.05 compared with oe-NCBack to article page
