Figure 2. PSMA3-AS1 promotes CCA cell proliferation, invasion and EMT. (A) CCK-8 and (B) EdU assays determined the effect of PSMA3-AS1 on CCA proliferation. (C) Colony formation assay determined the effect of PSMA3-AS1 on colony-forming ability of CCA cells. (D) The effect of PSMA3-AS1 on CCA proliferation in vivo. (E) Knocking down PSMA3-AS1 restrained the tumor volume and (F) tumor weight in nude mice. (G) Wound healing and (H, I) transwell assays validated the effects of PSMA3-AS1 on migration and invasion of CCA cells. (J) The effect of PSMA3-AS1 on EMT process of CCA cells. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
