Depletion of FOXD3-AS1 inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis in U87 cells. (a) Depletion of FOXD3-AS1 reduced growth of U87 cells. U87 cells transfected with FOXD3-AS1 siRNA#1 or siRNA#2 or control siRNA were seeded into 96-well plates. The MTT assay was then used to evaluate cell viability at day 0, day 3, and day 6 after seeding (N = 3, *p < 0.05). (b) Control or FOXD3-AS1 siRNA#1 or siRNA#2 was transfected into U87 cells, followed by immunoblotting to examine levels of PCNA, CDK4, CDK6, and cleaved caspase-3 in U87 cells. Actin served as the loading control. (c) The colony formation assay indicated that FOXD3-AS1 deletion suppressed cell survival in U87 cells (N = 3, *p < 0.05). (d) AO/EB staining showed that FOXD3-AS1 deletion promoted U87 cells apoptosis (N = 3, *p < 0.05). (e) TUNLE staining results revealed that FOXD3-AS1 deletion promoted U87 cells apoptosis (N = 3).
