NEAT1 downregulation decreases cell proliferation and triggers the apoptosis of ox-LDL-induced HAECs. HAECs were subjected to si-NEAT1#1, si-NEAT1#2, or si-con transfection and ox-LDL (50 µg/ml) treatment for 1 day. Then, (A) NEAT1 expression, (B) proliferation potential, (C) colony formation ability, (D) PCNA and Ki-67 expression levels, (E) caspase-3 activity, (F) Bcl-2 and Bax expression levels and (G) cells undergoing apoptosis were detected. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001. NEAT1, nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1; ox-LDL, oxidized low-density lipoprotein; HAECs, human aortic endothelial cells; PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen.
