Long non-coding RNA FEZF1-AS1 promotes the proliferation and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma via targeting miR-107/Wnt/β-catenin axis
Figure 7. Downregulation of FEZF1-AS1 inhibited the tumor growth in vivo by targeting miR-107/Wnt/β-catenin axis. SNU-398 cells were divided into four groups, normal saline group, sh-NC group, sh–FEZF1-AS1 group, and sh–FEZF1-AS1 + OE-β-catenin group. (A) HE staining was used to analyze of histopathological changes of mice tumor tissues. (B, C) The tumor volume and weight were detected after the mice were euthanized. (D) qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of FEZF1-AS1 and miR-107 in mice tumor tissues. (E) Western blot was used to test the expression levels of wnt3a, β-catenin, E-cadherin, ICAM1 and Vimentin in mice tumor tissues. *P < 0.01, sh–FEZF1-AS1 group vs. sh-NC group; #P < 0.05, sh-FEZF1-AS1 + OE-β-catenin group vs. sh–FEZF1-AS1 group.
