[Retracted] Novel lncRNA AL033381.2 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Upregulating PRKRA Expression

Figure 3

Knockdown of AL033381.2 suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells and induced cell apoptosis and regulates the cell cycle process. (a) Colony formation assay was employed to examine the effects of AL033381.2 knockdown on the proliferation of Hep3B and Huh-7 cells. (b, c) Transwell assay was employed to measure the effects of AL033381.2 knockdown on cell migration and invasion of Hep3B and Huh-7 cells. (d, e) EdU incorporation assay was used to evaluate the abilities of DNA replication on Hep3B and Huh-7 cells after infection of lentivirus shAL033381.2 or shCtrl. (f–i) The apoptosis and cell cycle distribution of Hep3B and Huh-7 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry after shAL033381.2 or shCtrl lentivirus transfection. ; .
