MiR-144 mimics elicit similar proliferation repressive effect in HCC cell. a miR-144 expression levels were analyzed in liver cancer or non-tumor tissues of TCGA cohort. b CCNB1-siRNA HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells were transiently transfected with miR-144 mimics or inhibitor, and the cell proliferation was measured by MTT at different time points. Bar graphs represent the mean ± SD from triplicate wells and experiments were repeated three times. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. Scramble control
