Effects of BANCR on the biological behaviors of Hep3B cells. a qRT-PCR analysis confirmed decreased BANCR expression in Hep3B cells after si-BANCR transfecting. BANCR expression was normalized to GAPDH. *P < 0.05. b Cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay in Hep3B cells transfected with si-BANCR or si-NC. **P < 0.01. c Flow cytometric analysis showed induced cell apoptosis after si-BANCR transfection. d, e Transwell invasion and migration assays showed that the number of invaded/migrated cells was significantly lower in the si-BANCR-transfected group than in the si-NC-transfected group. **P < 0.01
