Downregulation of DARS-AS1 induces apoptosis of cervical cancer cells through miR-188-5p/HMGB1 axis. (A, B) The protein level of HMGB1 in SiHa cells infected with HMGB1-OE plasmids was analyzed by western blot assay. **P < 0.01 compared with Ctrl-vector group. (C) SiHa cells were transfected with DARS-AS1 siRNA3 with or without HMGB1-OE plasmids for 48 h. Cell viability was analyzed by CCK-8 assay. (D) Apoptotic cells were measured by flow cytometry. (E) Western analysis of HMGB1, p-p38, p-JNK and p-p65 proteins in SiHa cells. (F, G, H, I) The relative expressions of HMGB1, p-p38, p-JNK, p-p65 in SiHa were normalized to β-actin, p38, JNK, p65, respectively. **P < 0.01, compared with the siRNA-ctrl group; ##P < 0.01 compared with DARS-AS1 siRNA3 group.
