Silencing MIAT inhibits the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in vitro.

**p<0.01 versus the NC group; ^##p<0.01 versus the NC+Scramble group.

^ϕϕp<0.01 versus the NC+si-MIAT group.

NC, negative control; siMIAT, short interfering RNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript; TGF-ß1, transforming growth factor-ß1; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; p-PI3K, phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase; PI3K, phosphoinositide 3-kinase; p-Akt, phosphorylated protein kinase B; Akt, protein kinase B; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
