Fig. 3From: miR-573 regulates cell proliferation and apoptosis by targeting Bax in nucleus pulposus cellsmiR-573 modulates cell viability and apoptosis in degenerative NP cells. Cells were transfected with miR-573 mimic, or mimic control for 48 h. a Overexpression of miR-573 markedly increased cell viability in degenerative NP cells measured by MTT assay. b Overexpression of miR-573 significantly inhibited cell apoptosis in degenerative NP cells by flow cytometry assay. c Cell apoptosis was quantified. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus miR-conBack to article page
