Exogenous miR-211 potentiates proliferation and growth of colorectal cancer cells <i>in vivo</i>.

<p>(A) Tumor xenograft growth of HCT-116 and HCT-116^miR-211 are shown under a light and fluorescence imaging system. The tumor mass (g) was measured on the final experimental day immediately after the tumor tissue was removed from the mouse by surgical excision. Tumor xenograft growth for HCT-116 and HCT-116^miR-211 groups was compared. (B) The day of cell inoculation was the experimental start day and all mice were sacrificed on day 43. The growth of solid tumor xenografts was monitored once a week and measured using vernier calipers.
