doi: 10.1016/j.tranon.2026.102724
Figure Lengend Snippet: The exploration for the role of SNHG7 in cuproptosis. A. qPCR validation of the differential expression levels of SNHG7 between normal and CRC patient tumor tissue (n=3, paired t-test). B. qPCR validation of the differential expression levels of SNHG7 between CRC cell lines and normal cells (n=3, paired t-test). C-D. CRC cell cell lines were transfected with siRN or overexpression plasmids to construct SNHG7 knockdown or overexpression cell lines. E. qPCR validation of SNHG7 expression levels in the occurrence of cuproptosis (n=3, paired t-test). F-G. Lactate production assay was used for detecting the level of the glycolysis in CRC cells with SNHG7-siRNA and overexpression compared with the control group (n=3, paired t-test). H. Viability of CRC cells in SNHG7 overexpression and PCBP2 knockdown on cuproptosis under varying concentrations of ESCu (n=3, one-way ANOVA). I-L. Viability of CRC cells in control and SNHG7-siRNA and overexpression groups after treatment with ESCu. M-O. Identifying associations among SNHG7, PCBP2, and CDKN2A using the GEPIA database (n=3, one-way ANOVA). P-R. Expression changes of SNHG7, PCBP2, and CDKN2A upon SNHG7 overexpression or CDKN2A knockdown by qPCR (n=3, paired t-test). S-T. Western blot analysis confirmed changes in PCBP2 and CDKN2A protein expression following SNHG7 overexpression or PCBP2 silencing in colorectal cancer cell lines.
