Article Title: Long Non-Coding RNA XIST Promotes Wilms Tumor Progression Through the miR-194-5p/YAP Axis
doi: 10.2147/CMAR.S297842
Figure Lengend Snippet: XIST promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of G401 cells, and inhibits apoptosis in vitro. ( A and B ) Stable XIST overexpression (lentiviral XIST and negative control, NC) and XIST knockdown (lentiviral sh-RNA and negative control, sh-NC) were successfully established in WT G401 cells. ( C ) CCK-8 cell viability assay profiles showed that XIST overexpression enhanced G401 cell proliferation, while ( D ) XIST knockdown decreased cell proliferation. ( E ) Flow cytometry showed that XIST overexpression decreased apoptosis while XIST knockdown promoted apoptosis. ( F ) Scratch assay (100×magnification) ( G ) and transwell assay showed that XIST overexpression promoted G401 cell migration and invasion in vitro (100×magnification). Three independent replicates were performed. One-way ANOVA or two-tailed t -test was performed for comparisons between the two groups. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
Article Snippet: The packaged lentiviral vectors were then transfected into the human WT G401 rhabdoid cell line (ATCC, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol and were collected for analysis after 48 h. The miR-194-5p mimic and NC mimic plasmids (GenePharma, Shanghai, China) were transfected into the human WT G401 cell line using Lipofectamine TM RNAiMAX (Invitrogen, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.
