Fig. 3From: MicroRNA-644a promotes apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by downregulating the expression of heat shock factor 1MiR-644a upregulation inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis of HCC cells. (a) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of miR-644a expression in control and miR-644a mimic-transfected HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells. (b) The CCK8 assay shows proliferation in the control and miR-644a mimic-transfected HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells. (c) Flow cytometry analysis of percent apoptosis (AnnexinV+ PI+) in the control and miR-644a mimic-transfected HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells.
