  1. Cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. The G1 phase fraction of the LV-COX-2siRNAi-1 cells was markedly increased compared with the LV-control and parental SaOS2 cells. a P < 0.01 compared with LV-control cells. Conversly, The G2 phase fraction of the LV-COX-2siRNAi-1 cells was notably decreased compared with the LV-control and parental SaOS2 cells. b P < 0.001 compared with the LV-control and parental SaOS2 cells.
