Although the value of cleaved caspase-3/pro-caspase-3 did not significantly changed in miR-124-overexpressing CRC cells compared with their parental cells after vehicle (0.1% DMSO) treatment, both cleaved caspase-3 and pro-caspase-3 expression slightly increased after miR-124 overexpression. The gene discussed is CASP3; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
