Effect of miR-130b on the proliferation of U251 cells in vitro. (A) U251 cell proliferation was significantly induced by transfection with miR-130b mimic (mimic) and inhibited by transfection with miR-130b inhibitor (inhibitor) at 48 and 72 h. (B and C) Upregulation of miR-130b markedly increased the number of surviving colonies and downregulation of miR-130b reduced the number of surviving colonies of U251 cells compared with the negative control (NC) groups. (D) The results of the cell cycle assay revealed that the upregulation of miR-130b decreased the percentage of cells in the G0–G1 phase and downregulation of miR-130b increased the percentage of cells in the G0–G1 phase. Data are means + SD of 3 independent experiments. *P<0.05 vs. NC group; #P<0.05 vs. NC group.
