Fig. 3From: Long noncoding RNA MIR99AHG promotes gastric cancer progression by inducing EMT and inhibiting apoptosis via miR577/FOXP1 axisMIR99AHG functioned as a molecular sponge of miR-577, liberating FOXP1 transcripts. a Diagram of putative binding sits for miR-577 in MIR99AHG and FOXP1. b–d Correlation assay was performed on TCGA cases, Pearson method was used to calculate the R-value. e the schematic of mutant MIR99AHG and FOXP1 constructs. f–i miR-577 mimics or negative control were co-transfected into BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells. Luciferase activity was detected 24 h after transfection using the dual-luciferase assay. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 (two-way ANOVA)Back to article page
