Article Title: Knockdown of LINC01123 inhibits cell viability, migration and invasion via miR-361-3p/TSPAN1 targeting in cervical cancer
doi: 10.3892/etm.2021.10618
Figure Lengend Snippet: miR-361-3p acted as the direct target of LINC01123. (A) The possible binding site between LINC01123 and miR-361-3p was predicted by LncBase Predicted v.2. (B) The expression of miR-361-3p was detected by RT-qPCR in HeLa and CaSki cells transfected with sh-LINC01123-1 or sh-NC. **P<0.01 vs. sh-NC. (C) Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the association between LINC01123 and miR-361-3p in HeLa and CaSki cells transfected with miR-NC, miR-361-3p mimics, LINC01123-WT or LINC01123-MUT. **P<0.01 vs. miR-NC. (D) miR-361-3p expression was detected by RT-qPCR in CC and adjacent healthy cervical tissue samples. P<0.001. (E) The correlation between LINC01123 and miR-361-3p was evaluated by Pearson's correlation analysis. P<0.0001. (F) The expression of miR-316-3p was detected by RT-qPCR in CC cell lines and HCerEpiC cells. **P<0.01 vs. HCerEpiC cells. The experiments were performed in triplicate and repeated at least three times. miR-361-3p, microRNA-361-3p; LINC01123, long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1123; CC, cervical cancer; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR; sh-NC, short hairpin RNA negative control; WT, wild-type; MUT, mutant.
Article Snippet: Cell culture and transfection Human CC cell lines (HeLa, CaSki, SiHa and C-33A) and the human normal cervical epithelial cell line (HCerEpiC) were purchased from American Type Culture Collection.
