Fig. 2

a siRNAs specifically inhibits the expression of ASB16-AS1 in adrenocortical carcinoma cells. 50 nM of ASB16-AS1 siRNA1 (siRNA1) or ASB16-AS1 siRNA2 (siRNA2) were transfected into adrenocortical carcinoma cell SW-13 or H295R, 48 h post transfection the expression of ASB16-AS1 were analyzed by qRT-PCR. *P < 0.05 versus NC group. b Inhibition of ASB16-AS1 expression promoted the proliferation of adrenocortical carcinoma cells analyzed by CCK-8 assay. Adrenocortical carcinoma cells were transfected with ASB16-AS1 siRNA1 (siRNA1) or ASB16-AS1 siRNA2 (siRNA2) at the concentration of 50 nM, cell proliferation was analyzed by CCK-8 assay at the indicated time post-transfection. *P < 0.05 versus NC group. c, d Inhibition of ASB16-AS1 expression promotes the proliferation of adrenocortical carcinoma cells analyzed by EdU incorporation assay. Adrenocortical carcinoma cells were transfected with ASB16-AS1 siRNA1 (siRNA1) or ASB16-AS1 siRNA2 (siRNA2) at the concentration of 50 nM, cell proliferation was analyzed by EdU assay. Scale bar equals 100 μm. *P < 0.05 versus NC group. e, f Inhibition of ASB16-AS1 promotes cell cycle progression in adrenocortical carcinoma cells. Adrenocortical carcinoma cells were transfected with 50 nM of ASB16-AS1 siRNA1 (siRNA1) or ASB16-AS1 siRNA2 (siRNA2), cell cycle was analyzed by FACS assay. *P < 0.05 versus NC group. The experiments were performed in triplicate. The data are represented as mean ± SEM from three independent experiments.
