MiR-18a affected C2C12 myoblasts proliferation.

<p>(A) qPCR analysis of expression of miR-18a in C2C12 myoblasts transfected with miR-18a mimics or NC for 36 h. n = 3, biological samples. **, p < 0.01. (B) Flow cytometry was used to analyze the percentage of cells in the G0/G1, S, and G2/M phases. n = 3, biological samples. *, p < 0.05. (C) C2C12 cells were stained with BrdU. The scale bar represents 50 μm. Six images were quantitated for each group and the percentage of BrdU⁺ C2C12 cells was showed (right). **, p < 0.01.
