Figure Lengend Snippet: Overexpression of BMPR1B-AS1 promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of Hec-1b cells while inhibiting apoptosis. A, Overexpression of BMPR1B-AS1 was confirmed by RT-qPCR. B, Overexpression of BMPR1B-AS1 promoted the proliferation of Hec-1b cells. C, E, G, H, Transwell migration assay (magnification, 200×) and wound healing assay (magnification, 100×) showed that overexpression of BMPR1B-AS1 facilitated the migration of Hec-1b cells. D, F, Transwell invasion assay showed that overexpression of BMPR1B-AS1 facilitated the invasion of Hec-1b cells (magnification, 200×). I, K, Flow cytometry results showed that BMPR1B-AS1 overexpression inhibited Hec-1b cell apoptosis. J, L, Flow cytometry results showed that BMPR1B-AS1 overexpression increased the accumulation of cells in the S-phase and decreased the accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase. M, N, O, P, Q, Western blot and analysis showed that the protein level of E-cadherin was decreased, but the protein levels of N-cadherin, Cyclin D1 and CDK4 were increased in the BMPR1B-AS1 overexpression group. Lv, lentiviral vector. The data are representative of three independent experiments. Bars, ±SD. *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001, ****P < 0.0001.
