Upregulated YTHDF2 promotes the inhibited proliferation, invasion and migration while diminishing the augmented cell apoptosis evoked by miR-495 in PCa cells. a, miR-495 expression in cells following varied transfection detected by RT-qPCR. b, The mRNA expression of YTHDF2 in cells following varied transfection detected by RT-qPCR. c, Western blots of YTHDF2 protein in cells following varied transfection. d, PC3 cell proliferation following varied transfection measured by Colony formation assay. e, PC3 cell apoptosis following varied transfection measured by flow cytometry. f, PC3 cell invasion following varied transfection measured by Transwell assay. Scale bar = 50 μm. g, PC3 cell migration following varied transfection measured by Scratch test. * p < 0.05 vs. cells transfected with mimic NC + oe-NC. # p < 0.05 vs. cells transfected with miR-495 mimic + oe-NC. ^ns p > 0.05 vs. cells transfected with mimic NC + oe-NC or miR-495 mimic + oe-NC. Data in panel A-G were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test
