NTM silencing reversed the promoting effect of miR-182 inhibitor on SC migration. (A) NTM mRNA expression in SCs was down-regulated by transfection with NTM-siRNA-3 (siRNA-3), or NTM-siRNA-4 (siRNA-4) compared with that of siRNA control (NC). (B) NTM protein expression in SCs was down-regulated by transfection with NTM-siRNA-3 (siRNA-3), or NTM-siRNA-4 (siRNA-4), compared with that of siRNA control (NC). (C) Both NTM-siRNA-3 (siRNA-3) and NTM-siRNA-4 (siRNA-4) significantly inhibited SC migration, compared with that of siRNA control (NC) (**P < 0.01). (D) The migration ability of SCs was examined after transfection with miR-182 inhibitor (anti-miR-182) in the presence or absence of NTM-siRNA-4 (siRNA-4).
