LncRNA FOXN3-AS2 modulated the growth of papillary thyroid carcinoma via miR-34a/SOX4 axis
Figure 7. LncRNA FOXN3-AS2 promotes in vivo tumor growth in the nude mice. TCP-1 cells line stably expressing FOXN3-AS2 or pcDNA3.1 were subcutaneously injected in right lower limb of the nude mice. (A) The tumor volume was assessed in the nude mice every 5 days (*p < 0.05). (B) Tumor weight was determined in the isolated tumors from the nude mice (*p < 0.05). (C) The relative expression of FOXN3-AS2 was determined by qRT-PCR in the isolated tumor tissues (**p < 0.01). qRT-PCR was performed to detect the relative mRNA expression of miR-34a (D) and SOX4 (E) (*p < 0.05).
