Overexpression of miR-217 enhances apoptosis and promotes G0/G1 phase arrest in CRC cells. (a) Flow cytometry analysis showed that after transfection with miR-217 mimics and mimics NC, the apoptosis rates of both SW480 and SW620 cells were markedly increased. (b) Cell cycle distribution assay was also applied using flow cytometry and treated with mimics as mentioned above. The histogram showed that miR-217 induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. **P < 0.01
