ZFAS1-knockdown inhibits the ox-LDL-induced excessive proliferation of VSMCs. (A) Relative mRNA ZFAS1 expression was quantified via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR following ZFAS1-knockdown. (B) Viability of VSMCs was examined using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. (C) Protein expression levels of Ki67 and PCNA were determined by western blotting. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM from three independent experiments. ^***P<0.001 vs. Control; ^#P<0.05 and ^###P<0.001 vs. ox-LDL + si-NC. ZFAS1, zinc finger antisense 1; ox-LDL, oxidized low-density lipoprotein; VSMCs, vascular smooth muscle cells; PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen; si, small interfering RNA; NC, negative control.
