Figure 5.

Cell proliferation rates of HCC 97H cells following different treatments.

Before exposure to irradiation at dose of 1 Gy, HCC 97H cells were separately transfected with miR-26b mimics, EphA2 overexpre-ssion vector and EphA2-small hairpin RNA in addition to co-transfection with miR-26b mimics and EphA2 overexpression vector. Cell proliferation rate was tested by using CCK-8 kits. Each bar represents the mean of three independent experiments. Bars not sharing a common letter differ (P<0.05). Ir: irradiation; miR-26b: miR-26b mimics; EphA2-vector: EphA2 expression vector; shEphA2: EphA2-small hairpin RNA
