LncRNA XIST affected cervical cancer cell apoptosis through miR-140-5p. a, b MiR-140-5p induced Hela and C3AA cells apoptosis, which was detected by flow cytometry. c, d Hela and C3AA cells were transfected with miR-140-5p mimics, inhibitor or inhibitor + si-XIST and subject to western blot analysis using antibodies against c-caspase3, Bcl-2, total PARP, cleaved PARP with GAPDH as a loading control. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, compared with NC
