Long non-coding RNA NUTM2A-AS1 knockdown inhibits NCI-H23 cell viability and induces apoptosis by upregulating miR-590-5p. (A) Viability of NCI-H23 cells was assessed using an MTT assay after 24, 48 and 72 h of incubation. (B) mRNA and (C) protein expression levels of PCNA were assessed using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting, respectively. (D and E) Apoptosis was detected using flow cytometry. (F) Cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3 protein expression levels were measured using western blotting. (G) Cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratio. **P<0.01 vs. control-siRNA; ##P<0.01 vs. NUTM2A-AS1-siRNA + inhibitor control. NUTM2A-AS1, NUT family member 2A antisense RNA 1; miR, microRNA; siRNA, small interfering RNA; PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen.
