Overexpression of miR-30a-5p promotes apoptosis. (A) The MTT assay indicated that an overexpression of miR-30a-5p inhibited keloid fibroblast cell growth compared with the negative control. (B) Flow cytometry results using APC staining performed to assess (C) cell apoptosis ratios at 72 h in culture following transfection of the miR-30a-5p mimic. (D) Flow cytometry results using PI staining to analyze the effect of miR-30a-5p on keloid fibroblast cell cycle. (E) The ratios demonstrated that miR-30a-5p did not affect the cell cycle progression of keloid fibroblasts. Results are presented the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments (n=3-4). A two-tailed Student's t-test was used to compare the groups. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 vs. respective NC. miR, microRNA; PI, propidium iodide; APC, allophycocyanin; NC, negative control; ns, not significant.
