STAT4 siRNA promote growth in HCC HepG2 cells.
Notes: HepG2 cells were incubated with STAT4 siRNA, negative siRNA, and blank control for 0, 48, and 96 hours. (A) Cell viability detected by CellTiter-Blue Cell Viability Assay. (B) Cell viability observed by fluorescent microscope after cells stained with Hoechst 33342 and PI. (C) Cell proliferation detected by MTS assay. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, STAT4 siRNA group compared with negative siRNA group.
Abbreviations: HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; PI, propidium iodide; siRNA, small interfering RNA; STAT4, single transducer and activator of transcription 4.
