Knocking down miR-142-3p accelerates HCC cell proliferation and dampens cell apoptosis. miR-142-3p inhibitors were transfected into Huh7 and HCCLM3. A: miR-142-3p expression in Huh7 and HCCLM3 HCC cells was gauged by qRT-PCR. B-C: Cell proliferation was checked by employing the colony formation assay and BrdU staining. D: FCM measured cell apoptosis. E-F: The Transwell experiment assayed the migration and invasion of Huh7 and HCCLM3 cells. G: WB evaluated the expression of the apoptosis-related proteins. *P< 0.05, **P< 0.01,***P< 0.001, ****P< 0.0001 (vs. miR-NC group) N = 3.
