miR-222 inhibitor impairs HepG2 cell migration and invasion. (A and B) The cell migration ability was tested by a wound healing assay and (C and D) the cell invasion ability of was assessed using Transwell chambers. The results indicated that, compared with HepG2 cells in the control and miR-NC inhibitor group, the cell migration and invasion ability were significantly reduced by miR-222 inhibitor (scale bar, 100 µm). miR, microRNA; NC, negative control; Con, control. ^*P<0.05 miR-222 inhibitor group vs. NC group. miR, microRNA; NC, negative control.
