CEBPA promotes the CEBPA-AS1 associated tumorgenesis in OSCC cells by alleviated CEBPA and Bcl2 expression. Each bar represents triplicate analyses of mean ± SD, * means the significant difference from the NC + pc-NC control (P < 0.05) and # means the significant difference from the NC + pc-CEBPA group (P < 0.05). A, qRT-PCR detects the CEBPA vectors or the empty vectors transfection efficiency. B and C, cells apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. D and E, the invasive ability was examined by transwell invasion assay. F-H, the level of CEBPA and Bcl2 protein are determined by western blot. β-actin was used as reference control.
