WWOX mRNA expression level was positively correlated with the RP11-190D6.2 lncRNA overexpression or knockdown in EOC cell lines.
Notes: Real-time PCR was performed to evaluate the expression levels of RP11-190D6.2 and WWOX, aiming to investigate their potential association. (A) The RP11-190D6.2 expression was positively correlated with WWOX expression (R=0.45519, P<0.00777). (B) The expression of RP11-190D6.2 was significantly lower in each EOC cell line compared with HOSE cell line. Additionally, the expression of RP11-190D6.2 was the highest in HEY-A8, but the lowest in H08910-PM. (C) The data showed that the lncRNA RP11-190D6.2 expression significantly increased. Meanwhile, using real-time PCR, we found that the mRNA expression level of WWOX was apparently upregulated by pcDNA RP11-190D62. (D) In RP11-190D6.2 siRNA groups, we found that RP11-190D6.2 expression was evidently decreased, as was WWOX expression. *P<0.05.
