Long Noncoding RNA Expression Signatures of Colon Cancer Based on the ceRNA Network and Their Prognostic Value

Figure 3

Validation by qPCR of the top five candidate lncRNAs and the correlation between target genes. (a) The relative expression levels of the top 5 lncRNAs with the highest degree in the ceRNA network were detected by qPCR in the tumor tissues and paired adjacent normal colon tissues from 35 patients with colon cancer. The data are presented as the relative expression level in tumor tissues compared with normal control tissues. vs. normal. (b) The colon cancer cell line HT-29 was transfected with siRNA of RP11-284N8.3 and RP11-399O19.9, LIN00641, or the control siRNA. HCT116 was transfected with siRNA of MAGI2-AS3, RP11-2C24.2, or the control siRNA. QPCR was used to detect the expression level of the target genes. NC: negative control. The data are expressed as the error of measurement from at least three experiments. vs. NC.
