Propofol suppresses cell viability and promotes apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells. A2780 cells were treated with a range of propofol concentrations. (A) Cell viability was examined using a MTT assay and (B) apoptotic rate was measured using flow cytometry. (C) Relative expression levels of miR-374a were analyzed using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experimental repeats (n=3). *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001. miR, microRNA.
