Figure 5

miR-182-5p targeting FGF9 inhibited chondrocyte proliferation and promoted apoptosis. The gene expression of (a) miR-182-5p and (b) FGF9. (c) The protein expression of FGF9. (d) Cell viability was monitored by CCK8. (e) Plate cloning of cells. The (f) cell cycle and (g) apoptosis was captured by flow cytometry.
