MicroRNA-24 Modulates Aflatoxin B1-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma Prognosis and Tumorigenesis
Figure 6
MiR-24 expression modified the proliferation and the apoptosis of HCC cancer cells. According to the types of mimics transfected, cell lines were divided into four groups: control group (control, by null mimics), mock group (mock, by mock mimics); miR-24 group (miR-24, by mature miR-24 mimics), and inhibitor group (inhibitor, by inhibitor of mature miR-24). (a) Association between miR-24 expression and cancer cell proliferation was elucidated using the CCK-8 assays. Relative proliferation value was calculated using control group as a reference. (b) Relationship between miR-24 expression and cancer cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry technique. Relative apoptosis value was calculated using control group as a reference. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni corrections. Asterisk, .
