a HOMER3 mRNA levels in SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable overexpression or control was measured by qRT-PCR. b HOMER3 mRNA levels in SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable silencing or control were measured by qRT-PCR. c HOMER3 protein levels in SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable overexpression or control was measured by western blot. d HOMER3 protein levels in SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable silencing or control was measured by qRT-PCR. e Nuclear β-catenin protein levels in SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable overexpression or control was measured by western blot. f Nuclear β-catenin protein levels in SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable silencing or control was measured by western blot. g β-catenin expression in the nucleus of SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable overexpression or control was detected by IF. h β-catenin expression in the nucleus of SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable silencing or control was detected by IF. i β-catenin reporter TOPFlash and pRL-TK which encodes Renilla luciferase were transfected into SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable overexpression or control. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were undertaken to determine β-catenin transcriptional activity. j β-catenin reporter TOPFlash and pRL-TK were transfected into SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable silencing or control. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were undertaken to determine β-catenin transcriptional activity. k Wnt/β-catenin downstream targets MYC and MMP7 expressions in SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable overexpression or control. l Wnt/β-catenin downstream targets MYC and MMP7 expressions in SK-HEP-1 cells with HOMER3-AS1 stable silencing or control. Results are presented as mean ± SD based on three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by Student’s t-test (a, g, i, k) or one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test (b, h, j, l).
