Figure Lengend Snippet: A Representative fluorescence microscopy images of mitochondria in SNU387 clones expressing either miR-423-5p or MALAT-1, transfected with MTS-mCherry-GFP1-10 plasmid. miR-423-5p-overexpressing cells showed fewer and smaller mitochondria with a rounded morphology, whereas MALAT-1-overexpressing cells displayed increased mitochondrial number and size. B qRT-PCR analysis of mitochondrial-related gene expression in SNU387 clones. Genes encoded by both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA involved in mitochondrial respiration and activity were significantly downregulated in miR-423-5p-overexpressing cells and upregulated in MALAT-1-overexpressing clones. C Seahorse Mito Stress Test performed in miR-423-5p-overexpressing SNU387 and Hep3B cells revealed reduced mitochondrial function, including decreased basal respiration, maximal respiration, ATP production, proton leak, and spare respiratory capacity, compared to control cells. * \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$p < 0.05$$\end{document} p < 0.05 , ** p -value \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$< 0.01$$\end{document} < 0.01 , *** p -value \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$< 0.001$$\end{document} < 0.001 , **** p -value \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$< 0.0001$$\end{document} < 0.0001 .
