Impact of knockdown and overexpressed ATF3 on cell viability, apoptosis, and cell cycle in rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocyte (RA-FLS) and MH7A. (A) The results of Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay revealed that the cell viability in the Sh-ATF3 group was lower than in Sh-Ctrl group, and those in the ATF-OE group were higher than in the Ctrl-OE group (mean ± SD, n = 3). (B) Flow cytometry was performed to analyze cell apoptosis. The typical image of apoptosis in RA-FLS and MH7A. (C) The results of apoptosis rate showed that Sh-ATF3 induced apoptosis in RA-FLS and MH7A, while ATF3-OE inhibited apoptosis in them (mean ± SD, n = 3). (D) Flow cytometry was performed to analyze cell cycle. The typical image of cell cycle in RA-FLS and MH7A. t-Test was performed to analyze the statistical difference. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
