SNHG16 silence inhibited cell carcinogenesis in NSCLC by regulating EphA2 expression. (a, b) The mRNA (a) and protein (b) expression levels of EphA2 were detected in A549 and NCI‐H1703 cells transfected with pcDNA or EphA2 using qRT‐PCR and western blot, respectively. A549 and NCI‐H1703 cells were transfected with si‐NC, si‐SNHG16, si‐SNHG16 + pcDNA, or si‐SNHG16 + EphA2. After transfection, (c, d) MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation; (e, f) cell migration and invasion were determined by transwell assay; (g) cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. *P < 0.05.
