Suppression of LBX2-AS1 inhibits proliferation and increases apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells. (A) LBX2-AS1 was silenced in HT29 and SW620 colorectal cancer cells following transfection with si-LBX2-AS1#1 or #2. (B) Cell Counting Kit-8 assay results showed that cell viability was inhibited in colorectal cancer cells transfected with si-LBX2-AS1. (C) The inhibitory effect of silencing LBX2-AS1 on colony formation was investigated in two colorectal cancer cells. (D) Flow cytometry assay results confirmed that the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells was induced by si-LBX2-AS1. (E) Higher caspase-3 and caspase-9 expression levels were detected in colorectal cancer cells transfected with si-LBX2-AS1. **P<0.01 vs. si-NC. LBX2-AS1, LBX2 antisense RNA 1; si-, small interfering RNA; NC, negative control.
