Long non-coding RNA RHPN1-AS1 promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis of ovarian cancer by acting as a ceRNA against miR-596 and upregulating LETM1
Figure 6. LETM1 is involved in RHPN1-AS1-mediated EOC progression. (A, B) CCK-8 assay in ES-2 and HEY cells transfected with shRHPN1-AS1#2 and/or pcDNA-LETM1.
