LINC01410 serves as a sponge for miR-3128. (A) The binding site of miR-3128 in the 3′-UTR of LINC01410 was determined using an online bioinformatics tool (http://mirdb.org/miRDB/index.html). (B and C) A luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm the direct interaction between LINC01410 and miR-3128 in HT-29 and SW620 cells. (D) Knockdown of LINC01410 increased the levels of miR-3128 in HT-29 and SW620 cells. (E and F) Inverse correlation between miR-3128 and LINC01410 in colon cancer tissues determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. *P<0.05 vs. the control group. LINC01410, long intergenic non-coding RNA 1410; miR, microRNA; WT, wild-type; Mut, mutated; si-LINC, small interfering RNA targeting LINC01410; si-NC, scrambled control siRNA.
