Gene silencing of lncRNA MALAT1 affects the viability of HFL1 cells following TGF-β pretreatment. (A) Relative expression levels of lncRNA MALAT1 in HFL1 cells transfected with siControl or siMALAT1 were measured by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. (B) Viability of HFL1 cells transfected with siControl or siMALAT with or without TGF-β pretreatment were detected with the MTT assay. Data were normalized to 18S rRNA expression and presented as the mean ± SD. ***P<0.001 vs. siControl; #P<0.05 vs. siControl + TGF-β group. HFL1, human fetal lung fibroblast 1; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; MALAT1, metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1; rRNA, ribosomal RNA; si, small interfering RNA; TGF-β, transforming growth factor-β.
