TP53TG1 inhibited miR-18a expression in NSCLC cells. a Sequence alignment of miR-18a with the putative binding sites within the wild-type regions of TP53TG1. b Subcellular fractionation assay was performed to identify the subcellular location of TP53TG1 with GAPDH and U6 as internal references. c, d The luciferase activity was detected in A549 cells transfected with TP53TG1-WT or TP53TG1-MUT and miR-con, miR-18a mimics, anti-miR-con or anti-miR-18a. e Biotin-labeled TP53TG1 RNA was obtained and added to cell lysates with Streptavidin agarose beads, followed by the detection of miR-18a enrichment by RNA pull-down assay. f RIP assay was performed to evaluate the endogenous binding between TP53TG1 and miR-18a in A549 cells using specific antibody against Ago2, followed by detection of RNA levels by qRT-PCR. g qRT-PCR assay of miR-18a expression in A549 cells transfected with si-TP53TG1#1 or pcDNA-TP53TG1 for 48 h. h qRT-PCR assay of miR-18a expression in 40 pairs of NSCLC samples. i qRT-PCR assay of miR-18a expression in DDP-sensitive NSCLC tissues and DDP-resistant NSCLC samples. j The correlation between TP53TG1 and miR-18a expression was detected in NSCLC samples. All experiments are repeated three times. *P < 0.05 vs. corresponding control
