Figure 4. Overexpression of UCA1 promoted cell proliferation, cell invasion and migration in glioma cells. The relative expression of UCA1 in (A) U87 and (B) SHG139 cells after pcDNA3.1-UCA1 (UCA1) or pcDNA3.1 (negative control) transfection was determined by qRT-PCR assay. The cell proliferative potential in (C) U87 and (D) SHG139 cells after pcDNA3.1-UCA1 (UCA1) or pcDNA3.1 (negative control) transfection was determined by CCK-8 assay. The cell invasive potential in (E) U87 and (F) SHG139 cells after pcDNA3.1-UCA1 (UCA1) or pcDNA3.1 (negative control) transfection was determined by cell invasion assay. The cell migratory potential in (G) U87 and (H) SHG139 cells after pcDNA3.1-UCA1 (UCA1) or pcDNA3.1 (negative control) transfection by wound healing assay. All the experiments were performed in triplicates. Significant differences compared to the control group were expressed as *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001.
