Fig. 6.
(A) The number of γH2AX foci per nucleus in miRNA-22 knockdown EC9706 cells was significantly lower than that of control cells after 1 h post-IR (P < 0.01). Data bars shown represent the mean ± SD of γH2AX foci in unirradiated and irradiated cells. Two hundred nuclei were analyzed per condition. (B) The percentage of apoptotic EC9706 cells in the miRNA-22 knockdown group was significantly lower than in control groups after radiation (P < 0.05). (C) The number of γH2AX foci per nucleus in KYSE150 cells with miRNA-22 higher expression was significantly higher than in control cells (P < 0.05). (D) The percentage of apoptotic cells in the forced miRNA-22 expression group was significantly higher than in control groups (P < 0.05).
