miR-206 inhibits the growth of SiHa-engrafted tumors. (a, b) The expression of BAG3 protein was detected using Western blot assay. (c, d) Tumor size was measured every week using a caliper. At 14 days after cell injection, animals were sacrificed and xenograft tumors were excised and weighted. We identified that miR-206 mimics could repress the SiHa-engrafted tumor growth and volume compared with miR-NC-transfected SiHa-engrafted tumors. Results shown are the mean ± SD of three repeated independent experiments. *p < 0.01, compared with miR-NC, one-way ANOVA.
