Knockdown of lncRNA ZFPM2-AS1 inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted cell apoptosis in vitro. a The regulatory effect of short-hairpin ZFPM2-AS1 (sh-ZFPM2-AS1) transfection on the level of ZFPM2-AS1 in HCC cell lines (Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation, *** p < 0.001). b Effect of lncRNA ZFPM2-AS1 silencing on viability of HCC cell lines (Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation, *** p < 0.001). c and d Knockdown of lncRNA ZFPM2-AS1 significantly inhibited migration (c) and invasion (d) of HCC cells (Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation, *** p < 0.001). e Knockdown of lncRNA ZFPM2-AS1 significantly induced apoptosis of HCC cells (Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation, ** p < 0.01)
