Potential Effects of Metformin on the Vitality, Invasion, and Migration of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells via Downregulating lncRNA-ATB
Figure 2
LncRNA-ATB triggers viability, migratory, and invasive abilities in VSMCs. (a) Transfection of pcDNA-lncRNA-ATB effectively upregulated lncRNA-ATB in VSMCs. (b) CCK-8 assay showed dose-dependently increased viability in VSMC overexpressing lncRNA-ATB. (c) Transwell assay showed enhanced migration in VSMC overexpressing lncRNA-ATB. (d) Transwell assay showed enhanced invasion in VSMC overexpressing lncRNA-ATB.
