Effects of miR-135a-5p on NPC cell proliferation and apoptosis. (a) The expression of miR-135a-5p in C666-1 cells was determined by qRT-PCR. (b) C666-1 cell proliferation was measured using MTT assay. (c) C666-1 cell apoptosis in miR-135a-5p mimic group and mimic control group was quantified by flow cytometry. (d) The percentage of apoptotic C666-1 cells was calculated and presented. (e) Caspase-3 activity in C666-1 cells was determined. (f) Protein expression of cleaved-Caspase3 and pro-Caspase3 was detected by western blot assay. ^** P < 0.01 compared to mimic control.
