OVCAR3 and CAOV-3 cells were added to a 96-well dish at 1×103 cells/well and were then transfected with 50 nM miR-196 mimic, miR-NC mimic, miR-196 inhibitor, miR-NC inhibitor, pcDNA-DDX3, pcDNA-3.1, shDDX3 or shCtrl. Subsequently, 10 µl MTT solution was added to each well at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. The supernatant was discarded after 4 h of incubation at 37°C and then 100 µl DMSO was added to each well to dissolve the formazan. The absorbance at 570 nm was determined using an enzyme-labeling instrument (EL808; BioTek Instruments, Inc.).
