Fig. 2: SNHG14 promotes cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis in HCC cells.

Hep3B and HepG2 cells were transfected with lentiviral vector containing full-length SNHG14 or sh-SNHG14, respectively. a The oligonucleotides labeled with GFP green fluorescence was transfected. b qRT-PCR assay was subjected to certify the transfection efficiency to examine the change of SNHG14 expression. c Cell viability was monitored using CCK-8 assay. d Ki67 expression was determined by immunofluorescence. Scale bar, 100 μm. e The capacity of cell proliferation was determined by colony formation assay. f Cell migration was monitored by wound healing assay. g In vitro angiogenesis was quantified by tube formation assays. Data were representative images or were expressed as the mean ± SD of n = 3 experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
