Figure 7 Long non-coding RNA metastasis-related lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lncRNA MALAT1) regulates the proliferation of hPASMCs through microRNA-503 (miR-503). (A) Number of clones of hPASMCs after transfection with pcDNA-MALAT1, miR-503 mimic, pcDNA-MALAT1+miR-503 mimic, or no template control (NC). (B) Number of clones of hPASMCs after transfection with miR-503 inhibitor, sh-MALAT1, sh-MALAT1+miR-503 inhibitor, or NC. (C, D) Cell counting kit assays showing the proliferation of hPASMCs (C) after transfection with miR-503 inhibitor, sh-MALAT1, sh-MALAT1+miR-503 inhibitor, or NC, and (D) after transfection with pcDNA-MALAT1, miR-503 mimic, pcDNA-MALAT1+miR-503 mimic, or NC.
