MALAT1 promoted ovarian cancer-cell growth.
Notes: (A) MALAT1 knockdown was achieved by si-MALAT1 and the inhibitory efficiency was verified by real-time PCR. (B, C) MTT assays revealed that knockdown of MALAT1 significantly attenuated the proliferation of both SKOV3 and A2780 cell lines over time, compared with the si-NC group. (D, E) Bromodeoxyuridine assays revealed that knockdown of MALAT1 markedly reduced DNA synthesis of both SKOV3 and A2780 cell lines. Data presented as mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. **P<0.01.
Abbreviations: si, small interfering; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; NC, negative control; OD, optical density.
