Fig. 2. The effect of miR-196a or miR-196b knockdown on cell proliferation and glycolysis in HCC cells.

SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells were transfected with anti-miR-196a, anti-miR-196b, or their corresponding anti-miR-NC. Their expression levels (a, b), cell proliferation (c, d), glucose consumption and lactate production (e, f) were measured in the two cells by qRT-PCR, the MTT assay, or the special commercial kit. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
