Effect of C/EBPα on the expression of let-7a-1. a Detection of ectopic C/EBPα overexpression in H1299 cells and knockdown in Hela cells by western blotting. For each sample, 30 μg total proteins were used. Detection of (b) induction of pri-let-7a-1 by ectopic C/EBPα expression in H1299 cells, and (c) reduction of pri-let-7a-1 by C/EBPα knockdown in Hela cells. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the level of pri-let-7a-1. Data are represented as means ± standard deviations from three independent tests. *P < 0.05. Detection of (d) let-7a induction by ectopic C/EBPα expression in H1299 cells, and (e) let-7a reduction by ectopic c/EBPα knockdown in Hela cells by Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Data are represented as means ± standard deviations from three independent tests. *P < 0.05
