SNHG12 interacts directly with miR-218 and acts as a sponge. (A) Predicted binding sites between SNHG12 and miR-218. Expression levels of miR-218 in (B) A549 and (C) H1299 cells following treatment with SNHG12-inhi. ***P<0.001 vs. NC-inhi. (D) Luciferase activity in A549 cells co-transfected with miR-218-mimic or miR-NC or pmiR-RB-REPORT™-SNHG12-WT or pmiR-RB-REPORT™-SNHG12-MUT. ***P<0.001 vs. SNHG12-wt. SNHG12, small nucleolar RNA host gene 12; inhi, inhibitor; NC, negative control; wt, wild-type; miR, microRNA; mut, mutant.
