Fig. 2. CLRN1-AS1 suppressed pituitary prolactinoma cell growth.
a–c Cell proliferation assays were conducted to determine the effect of CLRN1-AS1 overexpression or knockdown on cell proliferation. d–e JC-1 assay and caspase-3 activity test were separately performed to demonstrate the role of CLRN1-AS1 in regulating cell apoptosis. f The levels of autophagy-related proteins in indicated pituitary prolactinoma cell lines. g The ratio of autophagosome in two transfected PPA cells. **P < 0.01 versus control group, indicated data are statistically significant
