doi: 10.3892/ijmm.2021.4912
Figure Lengend Snippet: Upregulation of ENC1 enhances the proliferation, migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. (A) The overexpression efficiency of ENC1 was quantified in A549 and H1299 by RT-qPCR. (B) The overexpression efficiency of ENC1 was quantified in A549 and H1299 by western blot analysis. (C) Effects of ENC1 overexpression on proliferation were investigated in A549 and H1299 cells by CCK-8 assay. (D) The effects of ENC1 overexpression on the proliferation were investigated in A549 and H1299 cells using an EdU detection kit. (E and F) The effects of ENC1 overexpression on cell migration and invasion were investigated by Transwell assay. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001 vs. OE-NC group. ENC1, ectodermal-neural cortex 1; NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer.
