Promotion of Cervical Cancer Cell Proliferation by miR-130b Expression Level Changes and Inhibition of its Apoptosis by Targeting CDKN1A Gene.

Background: Dysregulation of miR-130b expression is associated with the development of different cancers. However, the description of the biological roles of miR-130b in the growth and survival of cervical cancer cells is limited.

Methods: The miR-130b levels in cervical cancer cells during different stages of growth were determined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR.
