Fig. 2. NPC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration regulation by circ-0046263 in vitro.
a qRT-PCR analysis of circ-0046263 expression after treatment with three siRNAs. b CCK-8 assay was performed to assess NPC cell growth vitality. c The proliferative capacity in 5–8F and CNE-2 cells were determined via colony-formation assay. d, e Wound-healing assay and Transwell assay were performed to assess migration and invasion ability of cells transfected with si-circ-0046263 or si-NC. Scale bars, 100 μm. f Expression of EMT-related proteins was detected by Western blot analysis. Results are shown as mean ± SD, and the data were represented by three independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
