Fig. 7: The tumor suppressor effect caused by TMEM161B-AS1 knockout was mediated by hsa-miR-27a-3p.

a, b The hsa-miR-27a-3p, TMEM161B-AS1 expression level in U87 cells and U251 cells transfected by no template control (NC), si-TMEM161B-AS1 + hsa-miR-27a-3p antagomir, hsa-miR-27a-3p antagomir, si-TMEM161B-AS1 were detected by qRT-PCR. c, d Comparison of cell viability of U87 cells and U251 cells after transfected with NC, si-TMEM161B-AS1 + hsa-miR-27a-3p antagomir, hsa-miR-27a-3p antagomir, and si-TMEM161B-AS1. e, f Comparison of cell migration and invasion ability of U87 cells and U251 cells after transfected with NC, si-TMEM161B-AS1 + hsa-miR-27a-3p antagomir, hsa-miR-27a-3p antagomir, si-TMEM161B-AS1. g. Comparison of apoptosis rate of U87 cells and U251 cells after transfection of NC, si-TMEM161B-AS1 + hsa-miR-27a-3p antagomir, hsa-miR-27a-3p antagomir, si-TMEM161B-AS1. *p < 0.05, compared with NC, **p < 0.01, compared with NC. n = 3 per group.
