Long Noncoding RNA GATA3-AS1 Promotes Cell Proliferation and Metastasis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Suppression of PTEN, CDKN1A, and TP53

Figure 1

The lncRNA GATA3-AS1 expression levels are markedly upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. (a) GATA3-AS1 expression levels were examined in 80 cases of pairs HCC tissues and matched normal tissues using RT-qPCR analysis. The 2−ΔΔCq method was used to analyze the results, and ACTB was used as the internal control. (b) GATA3-AS1 expression levels were detected by RT-qPCR assay in the two human HCC cell lines (Hep3B and HCCLM3) and the normal liver cell line (HL-7702). LncRNA: long noncoding RNA, GATA3-AS1 :GATA3 antisense RNA 1, HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma, RT-qPCR: real-time quantitative PCR, and ACTB: actin beta. Data were expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3); .
