Lnc-ATG9B-4 enhanced the expression of CDK5. (a) Schematic illustration of CDK5. The expression of CDK5 mRNA (b) and protein (c–d) was tested by qPCR and Western blotting, respectively, in the HepG2 cells overexpressing lnc-ATG9B-4 and shRNA-lnc-ATG9B-4. The expression of CDK 5 (e) and lnc-ATG9B-4 (f) in 20 patients with HCC. (g) CDK5 expression was positively related to the expression of lnc-ATG9B-4 by Spearman correlation analysis. All data were from three independent experiments (Student’s t-test, *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001). (A color version of this figure is available in the online journal.)
