Fig 3: NETO2 prompts the proliferation, migration and invasion of NPC cells but inhibits cell apoptosis(A) The expression of 5 mRNAs was examined in C17 and C666-1 cells with or without miR-876-5p augmentation. (B) Binding sites between miR-876-5p and NETO2 were predicted. (C) The enrichment of NETO2 in Bio-NC, Bio-miR-876-5p-Wt/Mut was quantified. (D) The binding affinity between miR-876-5p and NETO2 was appraised based on the luciferase activity of NETO2-Wt/Mut in C17 and C666-1 cells transfected with miR-876-5p mimics. (E) The enrichment of NETO2, TTN-AS1, and miR-876-5p in RISCs was examined. (F) TTN-AS1 expression was assessed in C17 and C666-1 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1/TTN-AS1. (G) NETO2 expression was detected in C17 and C666-1 cells respectively co-transfected with NC mimics, miR-876-5p mimics, or miR-876-5p mimics + pcDNA3.1/TTN-AS1. (H) NETO2 expression was evaluated in C17 and C666-1 cells with NETO2 knockdown. (I–N) The effects of NETO2 depletion on cell proliferative, migratory, and invasive capabilities as well as the apoptotic ability were examined in C17 and C666-1 cells successfully transfected with sh-NC or sh-NETO2#1/2 Scale bar = 200µm, Scale bar = 200µm, Scale bar = 100µm. Data obtained from three or more than three independent experimental results were shown as mean±SD. **p < 0.01; n.s., not significant.
