MKLN1-AS downregulation impeded the malignant progression in HCC cells. (a) The knockdown effects of sh-MKLN1-AS#1, sh-MKLN1-AS#2, sh-MKLN1-AS#3 on the MKLN1-AS level were assessed by RT-qPCR. (b-d) The detection of cell proliferation was performed through CCK-8 (b), colony formation assay (c) and EDU assay (d) in HuH7 and LM3 cells transfected with sh-NC or sh-MKLN1-AS#1. (e) The examination of angiogenesis was performed by tube formation assay. (f-g) The determination of cell migration (f) and invasion (g) was performed by transwell assay. (h) The protein analysis of PCNA, cleaved-caspase 3, E-cadherin and N-cadherin was performed using Western blot. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
