Effect of POSTN expression on LUAD cell proliferation. (A) Western blot analysis results showing that POSTN knockdown in A549 cells lowered KI-67 and PCNA expression. ****P < 0.0001. (B) Western blot analysis showing that POSTN knockdown lowered KI-67 and PCNA expression in H1299 cells. ***P < 0.001,****P < 0.0001. (C) CCK8 assay results showing that POSNT knockdown resulted in a significant decrease in A549 cell counts at 24, 48, and 72 h. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001. (D) CCK8 assay results showing that POSTN knockdown resulted in a significant decrease in H1299 cell counts at 72 h. *P < 0.05.
