DLG1-AS1 promotes HCC cell growth and migration. a The expression of DLG1-AS1 was tested in HCC cell lines (MHCC97-L, Huh-7, Hep3B and HCCLM3) and in the normal Human liver immortalized cell line (THLE-2). b The efficiency of DLG1-AS1 knockdown was analyzed via RT-qPCR in Hep3B and HCCLM3 cells. c, d The proliferative ability of Hep3B and HCCLM3 cells transfected with sh-DLG1-AS1#1/2 or sh-NC was evaluated via colony formation and EdU assays. e, f Cell apoptosis rate in different groups was analyzed by TUNEL assay and flow cytometry analysis. g, h Transwell assays were performed to measure the capabilities of migration and invasion. *Pā<ā0.05, **Pā<ā0.01
