HCG18 inhibits cell apoptosis and promotes cell proliferation by targeting miR-145-5p. a, b Flow cytometric analysis was performed using cells stained with Annexin-V-FITC/PI after transfecting negative control, shHCG18, or shHCG18 + miR-145-5p inhibitor into Jurkat cells. c The proliferation of Jurkat cells was analysed using CCK-8 assays by transfecting negative control, shHCG18, or shHCG18 + miR-145-5p inhibitor into Jurkat cells. The experiment was repeated at least three times, and data are presented as the mean ± SD, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
