AR and hepatocellular carcinoma: At the same time, we checked the proliferation capacities of the HCC cells by using MTT assay and colony formation assay, and the results also showed that oeAR could decrease the proliferation capacities of HCC Hep3B cells, and adding miR-122-5p inhibitor could partly reverse AR’s role in the regulation of the proliferation capacity of HCC Hep3B cells (Figures 2F, G).
