miR-18a promotes cell proliferation in EBV-positive lymphoma cells. a miR-18a promoted tumor cell growth in vitro in EBV-positive lymphoma cell lines. CCK-8 cell viability assay was performed after the transfection of miR-18a mimics or miR-18a inhibitor into EBV-positive lymphoma cell lines (P3HR-1, Raji, EBV infected BJAB) and the EBV-negative lymphoma cell line BJAB. The data represented the mean values of five repeats. The data are shown as the means±SD (Student T-test, *p < 0.05). b Flow cytometry analysis of the cell cycle after the transfection of miR-18a. c Cell cycle distribution of cells in S phase. The data were presented as the means±SD of four replicates (Student T-test, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01)
