LncRNA XIST regulates cell proliferation, migration and invasion via regulating miR-30b and RECK in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) plays an essential role in the development and progress of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). MicroRNA-30b (miR-30b) has been confirmed to play an inhibitory role in various types of cancer. The molecular mechanisms underlying the lncRNA XIST-mediated regulation of the metastasis of NPC cells by miR-30b is not clear. qPCR and western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of XIST, miR-30b, and reversion inducing cysteine rich protein with kazal motifs (RECK) in NPC tissues and cell lines. The detection of luciferase reporter gene confirmed the relationship between lncRNA XIST, miR-30b and RECK. CCK-8 and Transwell assays were performed in order to detect the proliferation, migration and invasion of the NPC cells. The
