Transwell migration (A) and invasion (B) assays of HGC-27 cells transfected with miR-9 mimic, miR-126 mimic, miR-151-3p mimic, miR-151-5p mimic, miR-199b-3p mimic, miR-199b-5p mimic, miR-218 mimic, miR-409-3p mimic or NC. *P<0.05; ** P<0.01. 3 miR-409 directly targets RDX in GC Supplementary Figure S2 Supplementary Figure S2 Stable expression of miR-409-3p in gastric cancer cell lines. (A) The expression level of miR-409-3p was determined by TaqMan real-time PCR in various GC cells and immortal gastric epithelial cells (GES-1). U6 served as an internal control. The value of miR-409-3p expression (miR-409-3p/U6) was calculated as fold change relative to GES-1. (B) Successful overexpression of mature miR-409-3p was confirmed by TaqMan real-time PCR after infection with miR-409-expressing or control lentivirus. The value of miR-409-3p expression (miR-409-3p/U6) was calculated as fold change relative to the vector control. 4 miR-409 directly targets RDX in GC Supplementary Figure S3 Supplementary Figure S3 miR-409 has no effect on GC cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. (A) miR-409 expression has no correlation with Ki-67 level in 62 GC samples analysed. Correlation was performed with Spearman correlation analysis. (B) Cell proliferation assays in the miR-409 stably expressing cell lines were performed by Cell Counting Kit-8. (C) The effect of miR-409-3p mimic, miR-409-5p mimic or NC on cell proliferation was assessed in SGC-7901 and HGC-27 cells. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA. (D) Cell proliferation assays of MKN-45 cells after transfection with miR-409-3p inhibitor, miR-409-5p inhibitor or NC inhibitor were performed. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA. (E) SGC-7901 cells infected with miR-409 or mock vector were subcutaneously injected into mice respectively. Tumor volumes were calculated for each week. (F) After four weeks, the mice were sacrificed. The tumour weights were measured and analysed. 5 miR-409 directly targets RDX in GC Supplementary Figure S4 Supplementary Figure S4 Luciferase assays of potential targets of miR-409-3p. Luciferase activity assays of luciferase vectors with 3′UTR of EXT1, REPS1, RDX, SPRED1, ZFAND5 or ZMIZ1 were performed after cotransfection with miR-409-3p mimic or NC. The luciferase activity was normalised to Renilla luciferase activity. The normalised luciferase activity of vector and NC transfection was set as relative luciferase activity 1. 6 miR-409 directly targets RDX in GC Supplementary Figure S5 Supplementary Figure S5 the mRNA expression levels of RDX in regulated by miR-409-expressing GC cells. The mRNA level of RDX was determined by quantitative real-time PCR in the miR-409 stably expressing cell lines (A) or in SGC-7901 and HGC-27 cells after transfection with miR-409-3p mimic, miR-409-5p mimic or NC (B). β-Actin served as an internal control. 7 miR-409 directly targets RDX in GC Supplementary Figure S6 Supplementary Figure S6 the relationship between miR-409-3p and RDX expression.
