Fig. 3From: FTX contributes to cell proliferation and migration in lung adenocarcinoma via targeting miR-335-5p/NUCB2 axisMiR-335-5p down-regulation restored the influence of FTX knockdown on LUAD cells. a Transfection efficiency of miR-335-5p inhibitor was determined in H1650 and H1975 cells. b, c The proliferation in LUAD cells transfected with sh-NC, sh-FTX, sh-FTX + miR-335-5p inhibitor was confirmed via colony formation assay and EdU assay. d, e Flow cytometry analysis and TUNEL assay were conducted to analyze cell apoptosis in the groups of sh-FTX sh-FTX + miR-335-5p inhibitor or sh-NC. f, g Transwell assay appraised migratory and invasive abilities in cells transfected with indicated plasmids. h Western blot assay was used to appraise the level of EMT-relevant proteins in each group. **p < 0.01Back to article page
