The miR-26a-5p inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis in Hela and C33A cells. (A) The expression of miR-26a-5p was detected by RT-qPCR in the normal cervical epithelial cells (GH329) and CC cell lines (C33A, Hela and SiHa). The Hela and C33A cells were transfected with miR-26a-5p mimic or miR-NC. The expression of miR-26a-5p was measured in the transfected Hela (B) and C33A cells (C). The proliferation of Hela (D) and C33A (F) cells transfected with miR-NC or miR-26a-5p mimic was analyzed by CCK-8 analysis. The apoptosis of Hela (E) and C33A (G) cells transfected with miR-NC or miR-26a-5p mimic was analyzed by flow cytometry. All data were from three independence experiments (*p < 0.05, t-test). NC: miRNA control; Mimic: miR-26a-5p mimic
