Fig. 6: LncRNA CERS6-AS1 facilitates HCC progression via modulating MDM2 expression.

A–D MDM2 overexpression or miR-30b-3p inhibitors partly reversed the inhibition effect of CERS6-AS1 knockdown on migration and invasion of HepG2 and MHCC97H. Transwell assay, Scale bar: 100 μm; Wound healing assay, Scale bar: 250 μm. E–H MDM2 overexpression or miR-30b-3p inhibitors partly reversed the inhibition effect of CERS6-AS1 knockdown on aerobic glycolysis of HepG2 and MHCC97H. I MDM2 overexpression or miR-30b-3p inhibitors partly reversed the inhibition effect of CERS6-AS1 knockdown on proliferation of HepG2 and MHCC97H. J MDM2 overexpression or miR-30b-3p inhibitors partly reversed the inhibition effect of CERS6-AS1 knockdown on protein expression involved in EMT (N-cadherin, twist) and glycolysis (PKM2, GLUT1). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
