Fig. 2From: Promotion of BZW2 by LINC00174 through miR-4500 inhibition enhances proliferation and apoptosis evasion in laryngeal papillomaKnockdown of BZW2 inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis. a, b qRT-PCR and Western blot were employed to analyze the mRNA and protein levels of BZW2 in LP cells that were transfected with negative control siRNA (si-NC), or BZW2 siRNAs including si-BZW2-1 and si-BZW2-2. c, d Colony formation and CCK-8 assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation in each group. e, f Nucleosomal fragmentation and caspase-3 activity assays were used to determine cell apoptosis in each group. The data represented are the means ± S.D. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001Back to article page
