Overexpression of <i>miR-124</i> increases cell apoptosis in vitro.

<p>(A) SW480 and LoVo cells were transfected with <i>Pre-miR-124</i> or <i>Pre-Scrambled</i> miRNA and examined by light microscope. (B) Cells were transfected with <i>Pre-miR-124</i> or <i>Pre-Scrambled</i> miRNA, and cell growth was determined by WST1 assay. Columns represent mean of three independent tests. Bars, SD. *, P<0.05. (C) Cell apoptosis was measured by Annexin V and propidium iodine staining.
