Fig. 2From: Upregulation of MiR-196a promotes cell proliferation by downregulating p27kip1 in laryngeal cancerEffect of miR-196a on cell proliferation and apoptosis. a The relative expression level of miR-196a in Hep-2 and TU212 cells, transfected with miR-196a negative control (miR-NC) or inhibitors, was tested by qPCR. b and c WST assay was conducted to detect the proliferation of Hep-2 cells and TU212 cells, respectively. d The apoptotic rates of cells were detected by flow cytometry. e The bar chart represents the percentage of cells in G0/G1, S, or G2/M phase, as indicated. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01Back to article page
