AFAP1-AS1 promotes lung cancer cells migration and invasion through SNIP1. a Representative images from migration assays of A549 and PC9 cells transfected with scrambled siRNAs and the empty vector (EV + NC), AFAP1-AS1, or co-transfected with the AFAP1-AS1 overexpression plasmid and the two siRNAs pool targeting SNIP1. AFAP1-AS1 promoted cells migration, whereas knockdown of SNIP1 decreased the effect of AFAP1-AS1 (Scale bar: 200 μm). b Representative images of the invasion assays in A549 and PC9 cells transfected with scrambled siRNAs and the empty vector (EV + NC), the AFAP1-AS1 ovexpression plasmid or co-transfected with the AFAP1-AS1 overexpression vector and the pool of two siRNAs targeting SNIP1. AFAP1-AS1 promoted the invasion of the two cell lines, whereas knockdown of SNIP1 expression decreased the effect of AFAP1-AS1 (Scale bar: 200 μm). All experiments were repeated at least three times.
