Knockdown of HOXA11 antisense (HOXA11as) inhibits serous ovarian cancer cell proliferation. (A) Expression of HOXA11as in human ovarian surface epithelial cell line (HOSE) and six ovarian cancer cell lines determined by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). (B) Knockdown efficiency was determined by qRT-PCR analysis in OVCA429 and SKOV3 cells. Cells were transfected with HOXA11as-specific siRNA (siHOXA11as) and negative control siRNA (siNC). (C, D) Knockdown of HOXA11as significantly reduced cell proliferation in OVCA429 and SKOV3 cells as determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Bars indicate mean±standard deviation of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. *p < 0.05 vs. siNC. siHOXA11as, HOXA11as-specific siRNA.
