Figure 3 miR-373 enhances trophoblast cell migration and invasion. (A) RT-qPCR measurements of miR-373 expression in placentas of PE and control rats (** p<0.01 by unpaired t test); (B) EdU positivity in trophoblast cells transfected with miR-373 mimic/inhibitor or controls (* p<0.05 by 1-way ANOVA); (C) invasion and migration ability of cells, as measured by Transwell assays (* p<0.05 by 1-way ANOVA); (D) cell apoptosis measured by flow cytometry (* p<0.05 by 1-way ANOVA). Each figure represents the average of 3 replicates.
