Figure Lengend Snippet: Silencing of LINC01013 inhibited hypoxia-induced hPASMC proliferation and inflammation. A , B hPASMC proliferation was determined by CCK8 and EdU incorporation assays ( n = 6). EdU (red), DAPI (blue), scale bar, 50 μm. C Western blotting analysis of PCNA, cyclin A and cyclin D in hPASMCs ( n = 6). D RT‒qPCR analysis showed the mRNA levels of TNF-α and IL-6 after LINC01013 knockdown, β-actin was used as a internal reference gene ( n = 6). E Western blotting analysis of TNF-α and IL-6 in hPASMCs. ( n = 6). All values are presented as the mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. Nor, normoxia; Hyp, hypoxia; NC, negative control; si, siRNA

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. BMNCR Facilitated proliferation and attenuated apoptosis in BMECs. (A) qRT-PCR detected the expression efficiency of BMNCR after transfected three BMNCR siRNAs, respectively. (B) The expression levels of inflammation-related cytokines were validated by RT‐qPCR after treated siBMNCR for 48 h. (C) CCK8 assay exploring the function of BMNCR on the viability of BMECs. (D) EdU assay detected the number of BMECs treated with siBMNCR. (E) The proportion of EdU positive cells was counted by ImageJ. (F) Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry after transfected with siBMNCR. (G) Distribution map of BMECs apoptosis. (H) Cell apoptosis index was counted by the sum of early and late apoptosis. Data are means ± SE of n = 3 independent experiments, each performed in triplicate, and normalized to GAPDH. *, p < .05 and **, p < .01.

Article Snippet: Finally, cells were stained using the Cell Proliferation Assay Kit (C0075S, Beyotime, Shanghai, China), and images were collected on the Inverted Fluorescence Microscope (DMi8, Leica, Germany).
