LINC00265 knockdown inhibits GC cell growth in vitro. (a) NCI-N87 and KATO III cells were transfected with either si-LINC00265 or si-NC. At 48 h post-transfection, the cells were collected and, then, subjected to RT-qPCR analysis for transfection efficiency evaluation. *P < 0.05 vs. the si-NC group. (b) The CCK-8 assay was conducted to assess cellular proliferation after 0, 3, 5, and 7 day of cultivation of si-LINC00265-transfected or si-NC-transfected NCI-N87 and KATO III cells. *P < 0.05 vs. group si-NC. (c) Colony formation assay was performed to determine the proliferation ability of NCI-N87 and KATO III cells after transfection with either si-LINC00265 or si-NC. *P < 0.05 vs. the si-NC group
