miR-940 Suppresses Tumor Cell Invasion and Migration via Regulation of CXCR2 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Figure 2

Overexpression of miR-940 promotes HCC cell migration and invasion in vitro. (a) Upregulation of miR-940 in MHCC97H and SMMC-7721 was demonstrated by qRT-PCR. (b) Transwell assay to observe the effect of miR-940 overexpression on cell migration capacity. (c) Cell invasion assay to assess the effect of miR-940 overexpression on cell invasion capacity. The histograms represent mean with standard deviation of the number of invasive or migration cells from triplicate tests. All experiments were performed independently three times. Student’s -test was used to evaluate the statistical significance of these experiments, as compared to NC. , versus the control. Original magnification, ×100.
