1. miR-145 regulates embryo attachment.
miR-145 regulates embryo attachment. Ishikawa cells were mock-transfected (mock) or transfected with a non-targeting control miR-mimic (control mimic) or a miR-145 mimic (10–100 nM). (A) Overexpression of miR-145 was confirmed by QPCR. ***P< (n = 6, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test in comparison to control). The box represents the 25–75th percentiles, and the median is indicated. The whiskers show the range. (B) Phase-contrast images at three z-planes of mouse embryos attached to Ishikawa endometrial cells following transfection with miR-mimics. Images were taken after 24 h of co-culture (representative of n = 15). (C) The stability of mouse embryo attachment to Ishikawa cells was assessed as previously described (Kang et al., 2014). Data are expressed as median and interquartile range. **P<0.01 (n = 3, Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn's multiple comparison).
