The biological activities were evaluated with cytotoxic activity in vitro on Uppsala 87 Malignant Glioma (U87MG) and prostate cancer-3 (PC-3) by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8).
In the present study, we revealed that Huaier aqueous extract inhibited the proliferative and metastatic capabilities of human prostate cancer PC3 cells through CCK-8 assay, in vitro scratch assay and Transwell assay.
The effects of miR-34a inhibition and overexpression on PC proliferation were evaluated in vitro via Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) proliferation, colony formation, apoptosis, and cell-cycle assays.
The hypoxia-induced human prostate cancer PC3 cells were generated by incubating with 5% O<sub>2</sub> for 24 h. The cell viability and apoptosis were respectively analyzed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry.
Restoration of miR-154 lowered the potential of CaP cell lines to grow and proliferate in vitro evaluated by CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry. miR-154 down-regulated the expression of CCND2 by binding to its 3'-untranslated region by luciferase reporter assay.
