Silencing EDIL3 expression using RNA interference inhibits HREC proliferation in vitro. HRECs were transfected with siEDIL3 or scramble siRNA. (A) EDIL3 mRNA expression levels were assessed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. (B) EDIL3 protein expression levels were detected using western blot analysis. (C) Proliferation of HRECs was examined using a Cell Counting kit 8 assay. **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 vs. control and scramble groups. EDIL3, epidermal growth factor-like repeat and discoidin I-like domain-containing protein 3; HRECs, human retinal endothelial cells; si, small interfering.
