miR-150 promotes the growth of cervical carcinoma cells. a The expression of miR-150 in non-transduction C-33A cells (mock) or stable cells after transduction with control virus (control) or virus containing miR-150 mimics (miR-150) was analyzed by RT-PCR. The bar represents 3 independent experiments. b Same number of C-33A cells expressing miR-150 mimics or inhibitors, or empty vector-transducted C-33A cells (control) were seeded into 24-well plate and cultured for 4 days. The cell number was counted every day. Mean values ± SD for 3 independent experiments is shown. c The cell cycle analysis in the three stable C-33A sub-cell lines was performed after PI staining and representative DNA content profiles of cell cycle are presented. d The percentages of cells in different cell cycle stages from 3 independent experiments were analyzed and presented by a histogram
