VEGFC and gastric cancer: To determine whether miR-27b, miR-101, or miR-128 inhibits VEGF-C-induced endothelial cell migration, transwell monolayer permeability assays were used to detect the changes in migration activity of HUVECs, which were treated with the culture supernatants of gastric cancer cells transiently transfected with the three miRNAs or a negative control.
