Effects of NS5ABP37 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cycle distribution in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. HepG2 and L02 cells were transiently transfected with pENTER (normal control [NC]), pENTER‐NS5ABP37, siRNA control (siNC), or siRNA‐NS5ABP37 for 48 h. (A) Cell proliferation was measured using a CCK‐8 kit. Cell apoptosis was assessed with an annexin V‐FITC/7‐AAD kit by flow cytometry (B1), and quantitated (B2). Caspase‐3 activity was detected by caspase‐3/7 activity assay (C) and Western blot using anti‐cleaved caspase‐3 antibody (D). (E1,E2) Cell cycle distribution was measured by flow cytometry and analyzed with ModFit software. (F) Cell cycle‐related proteins, including cyclin D1, cyclin A, cyclin E, and CDK2 were detected by Western blotting. Data are mean ± SD from triplicate experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005, ***P < 0.0001.
