The effects of CASC15 knockdown on HCC cell proliferation. (A) CASC15 was overexpressed in HCC cell lines. (B and C) CASC15 was knocked down by transfection of cells with si-CASC15. (D) The proliferative capacity of HCC cells was assessed by the 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine assay. (E) Cell Counting Kit-8 assay results in si-CASC15-transfected and control siRNA-transfected Huh7 and SMMC7721 cells. (F) Colony formation assay results in si-CASC15-treated and control Huh7 and SMMC7721 cells. The abbreviations are the same as in Fig. 1. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. Magnification, ×200.
