Figure 4From: MicroRNA-21 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell proliferation through repression of mitogen-activated protein kinase-kinase 3 miR-21 targets MAP2K3 mRNA. The HepG2 cells were infected with Ad/pri-miR-21, Ad/miR-21/inhibitor or Ad/con adenoviral vector. The expression of MAP2K3 was detected by immunoblotting analysis against anti-MAP2K3 antibody. Compared with Ad/con group, *: p<0.05. Data in A represented the mean ± SD from three independent triplicated experiments (N=9).Back to article page
