LINC00511 promotes gastric cancer cell growth by acting as a ceRNA

Figure 2 MiR-124-3p is downregulated in gastric cancer and inhibits cell growth. A: The relative expression of miR-124-3p in normal gastric cells and gastric cancer (GC) cells was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR; B: The overexpression efficiency of miR-124-3p mimics was measured with quantitative real-time PCR; C, D: The effect of miR-124-3p overexpression on cell proliferation in GC cells was investigated by CCK-8 and colony formation assays; E: WB assay was used to examine the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and total caspase-3. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01.
