BALB/c nude mice (male, four-week-old) were obtained from Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology (Beijing, China) and housed in specific pathogen-free conditions with a 12 h light/dark cycle and free access to water and food. Every experiment was made to minimize animals (n = 7 per group) under the approval of the Animal Research Committee of Luoyang Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University. HepG2 cells were transfected with the lentiviral vectors with anti-miR-196a (Lenti-anti-miR-196a), anti-miR-196b (Lenti-anti-miR-196b), anti-miR-NC (Lenti-anti-miR-NC), or negative control (Lenti-NC) constructed by GeneCopoeia (Rockville, MD, USA). Stably transfected cells (5 × 106) were subcutaneously injected into the nude mice. Tumor volumes were measured every week for 5 weeks with the formula: volume (mm3) = width2 × length/2. After 5 weeks following the inoculation, the mice were killed and tumor samples were collected and weighted. The collected tumor tissues were used for further molecular studies. Cell apoptosis and proliferation in tumor tissues were measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining with in situ cell death detection kit (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) or Ki67 immunohistochemistry with anti-Ki67 antibody (ab16667, 1:1000 dilution, Abcam) following the manufacturer’s instructions as previous study20 (link).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
