LncRNA UCA1 knockdown suppressed the proliferation, invasion, and migration of NPC cells.

Notes: (A) qRT-PCR was used to detect the efficiency of si-UCA1, **P<0.01 vs control. (B and C) CCK8 and colony-forming assays were used to test cell proliferation, *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs control. (D) Migration of NPC cells was determined by wound-healing analysis. (E) Transwell assays with or without Matrigel were employed to explore the invasion and migration of NPC cells, **P<0.01 vs control. Original magnification ×200. Scale bars = 100 µm.

Abbreviations: NPC, nasopharyngeal carcinoma; qRT-PCR, quantitative real-time PCR; CCK8, Cell Counting Kit-8; NC, negative control.
