Fig. 2From: Hypoxia-inducible MiR-182 promotes angiogenesis by targeting RASA1 in hepatocellular carcinomaThe level of miR-182 was increased in HCC tissues and promotes angiogenesis. a The level of MiR-182 was examined by RT-PCR in 36 pairs of HCC tissues and their corresponding normal tissues. b The percent of up-regulation of miR-182 in HCC was shown. c Capillary tube formation assays of HUVECs were performed by using 75 % TCM derived from SK-HEP-1 and HCC-LM3 cells treated with miR-182 mimics or NC or anti-miR-182. The relative images were shown at the 100× magnification and the results are representative of three independent experiments. (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)Back to article page
