Overexpression of miR-204 promoted CC cell apoptosis and cell cycle at the G₀/G₁ phase and inhibited cell invasion and migration. (A) Cell apoptosis rate in HeLa and C33A cell lines with the miR-204 mimic or NC transfection was determined by annexin V/FITC staining. (B) Cell cycle distribution in HeLa and C33A cell lines with the miR-204 mimic or NC transfection was examined by propidium iodide (PI) staining. Cell invasion ability (C) and migration ability (D) were measured in Hela and C33A cell lines with the miR-204 mimic or NC transfection by Transwell assays. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 versus the NC group.
