Figure 2 Effect of miR-22-3p on the biological function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). (A) Proliferation assay showing knockdown of miR-22-3p promoted cell proliferation. (B) Statistical analysis of transwell assay revealed that inhibition of miR-22-3p increased migration of EPCs. (C) Representative microscopic images of cells that invaded through the transwell. (D) EPCs transfected with miR-22-3p inhibitor showed more migrated distance. (E) Statistical results from wound-healing assay. * P<0.05; ** P<0.01.
