miR199a-3p is involved in the regulation of cardiac c-kit⁺ cell proliferation and apoptosis. a Cell cycle distribution of cardiac c-kit⁺ cells after transfection with the miR199a-3p and anti-miR199a-3p for 48 h. b Representative annexin V/PI flow cytometry analysis of cardiac c-kit⁺ cells. Quantification of analysis of annexin V⁺/PI⁺ cardiac c-kit⁺ cells by flow cytometry. The results are shown as the means ± SD of at least three separate experiments. Con control, PI propidium iodide (*p < 0.05, compared to miR-con)
