Effect of miR-140-5p on cell proliferation of esophageal cancer cells. Cell proliferation of EC9706 (a and b) and TE-1 (c and d) was analyzed after transfection with miR-140-5p and anti-miR-140-5p. The cells were exposed to respective mRNA sequence and incubated for 24, 48, and 72 h and growth inhibition was evaluated using the MTT assay.
