miR‐181a‐5p regulates cell viability and apoptosis through serine/threonine kinase 16 (STK16). (A) Cell viability, (B, C) apoptosis, and (D, E) expression of p‐AKT1 and AKT1 in H1975 cells transfected with miR‐181a‐5p mimic and transduced with STK16 expression vector. (F) Cell viability, (G, H) apoptosis, and (I, J) expression of p‐AKT1 and AKT1 in A549 cells transfected with miR‐181a‐5p inhibitor and transduced with STK16 shRNA vector. ***P < .001 compared with NC. ^### P < .001 compared with miR‐181a‐5p mimic+Vector or miR‐181a‐5p inhibitor+shNC
