Long non-coding RNA SNHG16 promotes human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cell proliferation capacity through the PI3K/AKT pathway under hypoxia

Figure 5 Knockdown of SNHG16 attenuated the proliferation ability of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells. A: Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis of relative SNHG16 expression after transfection of SNHG16 short hairpin RNA (sh-SNHG16) and the corresponding controls (sh-NC) in human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells; B: Cell proliferation capacity evaluated by cell counting kit-8 assay; C: Cell cycle measured by flow cytometry; D: The G1 to S phase transition-related proteins and p-AKT detected by western blot analysis. Data are presented as means ± standard deviation. ^bP < 0.01.
