The A549 cell line and cells transfected with negative control (NC) and the miR-488 mimic were used in the following assays. Cell viability (a) was tested with an MTT assay, and colony formation (b) was measured with crystal violet staining. All these showed that miR-488 could inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells. Wound healing (c) and transwell assays with Matrigel (d) were tested in A549 cells with miR-488 overexpression. The percent of wounds closed or number of cells migrating through the membrane were counted and are compared in the diagrams. The cell cycle (e) was evaluated with flow cytometry. The data from three independent experiments are given as the mean ± SD (*P < 0.05).
