miR-202 affects apoptotic proteins and xenografted tumor growth. (A) Western blotting was used to detect cell cycle- and apoptosis-related biomarkers (cyclin D1, Bax, and Bcl-2) in HCC cells with miR-202 mimics or miR-NC. Protein expression was quantified by densitometry analysis using ImageJ and normalized by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) level. (B) Size of xenografted tumors (n = 5 mice per group) was measured every week. (C) Weight of xenografted tumors (n = 5 mice per group) was summarized as a bar graph. (D) Western blotting was used to detect Ki-67 and BCL2 expressions in xenografted tumor tissues (n = 5 mice per group). Protein expression was quantified by densitometry analysis using ImageJ and normalized by GAPDH level. *p < 0.05 by two-way ANOVA or Student’s t-test.
