miR-138-5p inhibits glioblastoma cell viability and colony formation. (A) Relative expression levels of miR-138-5p in U87 and U251 cell lines following the transfection with the miR-138-5p mimics or miR-NC. (B) Cell viability of U87 and U251 cells transfected with miR-138-5p mimics or miR-NC was analyzed using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. (C) Colony forming ability of U87 and U251 cells transfected with miR-138-5p mimics or miR-NC. (D) Cell cycle analysis of U87 and U251 cells transfected with miR-138-5p mimics or miR-NC was performed using flow cytometry. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. miR-NC. An unpaired Student's t-test was used in parts (A and C) while a one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test was used in parts (B and D) miR, microRNA; NC, negative control; OD, optical density.
