miRNA-4701-5p binds directly with HMGA1. A Bioinformatics software Starbase v2.0 analysis predicted the miRNA-4701-5p on HMGA1 3'UTR. B Dual luciferase reporter assay verified the relationship between miRNA-4701-5p and HMGA1. C The expression of miRNA-4701-5p in HEK293T cells was measured using qRT-PCR. **p < 0.01 versus mimic control
