Additional file 2: Figure S1. of MicroRNA-195 acts as an anti-proliferative miRNA in human melanoma cells by targeting Prohibitin 1
MicroRNA-195 modulates PHB1 expression in melanoma cells. SK-MEL-5 melanoma cells were transfected with either miR-control/mir-195. miR-195 mimics transfection resulting in a reduction of PHB1 (P ≤ 0.01) (a) mRNA and (b) protein levels compared to miR-control. For RT-qPCR experiments, ACT-B mRNA was used as an endogenous control and the data were analyzed using the 2 (−∆∆Ct) method; for immunoblotting ACT-B was also used as loading control. Protein quantification (fold-change based on the control) is indicated above the blots. In (c) and (d), miR-195 levels 48 and 72 h after transfection, respectively. RNU48 was used as an endogenous control and the data were analyzed using the 2 (−∆∆Ct) method. **P ≤ 0.01. (PNG 74 kb

MicroRNA 195 and PLX-4032 effects in UACC-62 melanoma cells. UACC-62 cells were transfected with either miR-control/miR-195 (25 nM). After 24 h, cells were treated with 1 or 10 μM vemurafenib (PLX-4032) for 48 hs and cell death was determined by flow cytometry after propidium iodide staining. Statistical analysis was carried out using Two-Way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-test and are reported by mean ± SD. Representative data of three independent experiments are reported. ***P ≤ 0.001. (JPEG 222 kb

Additional file 7: Figure S6. of MicroRNA-195 acts as an anti-proliferative miRNA in human melanoma cells by targeting Prohibitin 1
Drug-induced cell death is accentuated by miR-195. This panel shows the cell cycle profile of SK-MEL-5 melanoma cells transfected with either miRNA-control/miR-195 (10 nM) (24 h) and treated with cisplatin (CIS-2.5 and 5 μM) or temozolomide (TMZ-50 and 250 μM) for 48 h (total time 72 h). The percentage of the cell population distributed in each cell cycle phase is indicated: G0/G1 = blue, S = green, and G2/M = pink. (a)-MicroRNA-195 alone increased cell death (cells accumulated at sub G0/G1). (b-e) Treatment with drugs induces mainly arrest of SK-MEL-5 cells in G2/M whereas the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin and temozolomide were higher when combined with miR-195 transfection, inducing cell death (sub G0/G1 cells population). Cell cycle distribution of propidium iodide (PI)-labeled cells was analyzed using FlowJo Cytometric software. Representative examples of at least three independent experiments are reported.
