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

Figure 6

GATA3-AS1 suppresses PTEN, CDKN1A, and TP53 expression in HCC cells. (a) RT-qPCR analysis was used to detect PTEN, CDKN1A, and TP53 expression in Hep3B and HCCLM3 cells after treated with GATA3-AS1 siRNA/control siRNA. Expression of each gene was normalized to that of the ACTB level. (b) Restoration of GATA3-AS1 decreased PTEN, CDKN1A, and TP53 expression. PTEN: phosphatase and tensin homolog, CDKN1A: cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A, and TP53: tumor protein p53. Each value represented the mean ± SD from at least three independent experiments; .
