Inhibition of miR-342-3p promotes the growth of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells. Quantitative PCR analysis of miR-342-3p expression in (A) Tca8113 and (B) SCC-9 cells transfected with antagomiR-NC or antagomiR-342-3p, normalized to the level of miR-342-3p in non-transfected control cells of the same line. After 24 h of transection, the following tests were performed: The Cell Counting kit-8 assay to calculate the relative cell proliferation in (C) Tca8113 and (D) SCC-9 cells, normalized to the cell proliferation in control cells of the same line; the colony formation assay to provide colony counts for (E) Tca8113 and (F) SCC-9 cells; and the BrdU-incorporation assay to provide percentage positivity for (G) Tca8113 and (H) SCC-9 cells. All data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation of three separate experiments. *P<0.05. miR, microRNA; NC, negative control; BrdU, 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine.
