Fig. 2From: Antisense oligonucleotides against microRNA-21 reduced the proliferation and migration of human colon carcinoma cellsMiRNA-21 ASO reduced the colony formation capacity of human colon carcinoma cells. Human colon carcinoma cell line HCT116 cells were transiently transfected with p-miR-21-ASO or p-Cont (5 μg). a At indicated time point, the colony diameter was analyzed. b After 13 days, then colony numbers were analyzed by crystal staining and calculated (c). Data represent as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05.Back to article page
