Figure 11From: Increased MiR-221 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and its role in enhancing cell growth and inhibiting apoptosis in vitro Effect of miR-221 on caspase-3/7 activity of HCC cells. HCC cells were treated the same as described in Figure 5 and the caspase-3/7 activity was detected using Apo-ONE Homogeneous Caspase-3/7 Assay. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, compared to blank control at the same time point.Back to article page
