Figure 4. Silencing of GILZ partially abrogated the effect of DEX on proliferation of 9HTE cells.

Figure 4

(A) 9HTE cells were transfected with non-specific si-RNA or GILZ si-RNA in the absence or presence of DEX. The effect of GILZ knockout on 9HTE cell proliferation was measured via MTT assay, and absorbance was read at 490 nm (0.749±0.057 in the non-specific si-RNA group compared with 0.697±0.057 in the DEX-treated/non-specific si-RNA group, *P<0.05, n = 3). (B) 9HTE cells were labeling with CFSE and the CFSE fluorescence intensity was measured by flow cytometry (6.468±1.463 in the non-specific si-RNA group and 5.233±0.970 in the DEX-treated/GILZ si-RNA group compared with 2.765±0.539 in the DEX-treated/non-specific si-RNA group, *P<0.05, n = 4).
