DMED regulates miR-155-HIF-1α axis to mediate cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of OC cells. (A) Cell proliferation was inspected by CCK-8 assay; (B) Cell apoptosis was determined with flow cytometry; (C, D) The mRNA and protein expression levels of caspase-3 and Mcl-1 were separately detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot; (E) Cell migration was detected by wound healing assay; (F) Cell invasion was determined using Transwell assay; * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, compared to DMED group; #
