Role of MALAT1 silencing in HCC cell multiplication. a, b Q-PCR was used to measure MALAT1 expression in HepG2 and Huh-7 cells transfected with siMALAT1 or siNC for 48 h. c, d Multiplication rates of the HepG2 and Huh-7 cells at 24, 48, or 72 h after transfection were tested using the MTT assay. e, f A soft-agar colony formation assay was performed for HepG2 and Huh-7 cells that were transfected with siMALAT1 or siNC at 48 h. The data were described as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, as compared with the indicated group
