Silencing of SNHG14 inhibited cell injury induced by OGD/R in PC-12 cells. a The expression level of SNHG14 were measured by qRT-PCR in PC-12 cells transfected with shRNAs targeted SNHG14 (SNHG14 shRNA1, SNHG14 shRNA2, SNHG14 shRNA 3) or its control vector (Scr shRNA). b The effect of SNHG14 silencing on PC-12 cell viability was determined by MTT assay. c The role of knockdown of SNHG14 expression on the LDH concentration was measured by LDH releasing assay. d, e The effect of downregulated SNHG14 on caspase-3 activity and protein level were examined by caspase-3 activity assay and western blot in PC-12 cells, respectively. f The function of decreased SNHG14 on the number of dead cells was detected by dual calcein-AM/PI staining. The calcein-AM stained- (green) and PI- (red) stained cells represented live and dead cells, respectively. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 represents statistically difference.
