Figure 3. miR-338-3p inhibits cell proliferation, especially in LO2/HBx-d382 cells.

Figure 3

(A) A representative cell cycle profile for miR-338-3p mimics or inhibitor in LO2/HBx-d382 and LO2/HBx cells comparing to their control RNA transfection. (B) Average of G1 phase populations in HBx-expressed LO2 cells after transfected miR-338-3p mimics or inhibitor (*P<0.001). (C) Average of S phase populations after transfected miR-338-3p mimics or inhibitor in LO2/HBx-d382 and LO2/HBx cells (*P<0.001). While miR-338-3p overexpresses or suppresses, miR-338-3p induce cell cycle arrest and anti-miR-338-3p increases cell growth, especially in LO2/HBx-d382 cells. Values in (B) and (C) are means ±SD of three separate experiments.
