Fig. 3. miR-889-3p inhibitor abrogated the NEAT1 silencing-induced inhibition effects on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and the promotion effects on apoptosis in CC. The Me180 and HeLa cells were transfected with si-NC, si-NEAT1, si-NEAT1+in-miR-NC and si-NEAT1+in-miR-889-3p. (A) The expression of miR-889-3p in the transfected Me180 and HeLa cells. (B and C) Cell viability of the transfected Me180 and HeLa cells measured by the CCK-8 assay. (D and E) Cell migration and invasion of the transfected Me180 and HeLa cells assessed by the transwell assay. (F) Cell apoptosis of the transfected Me180 and HeLa cells analyzed by flow cytometry. *P < 0.05.
