BHLHE40 mediates NEAT1 transcription to activate Wnt/β-catenin signaling in CRC cells. A Western blot for the E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Wnt, β-catenin, c-myc, and cyclin D1 protein expression in CRC cells in response to oe-BHLHE40 (oe-NC as control) or oe-BHLHE40 + sh-NEAT1 (oe-BHLHE40 + sh-NC as control). B Effects of oe-BHLHE40 and iCRT3 combined treatment on Wnt/β-catenin pathway activity in CRC cells was measured using TOP/FOP flash assay. C MTT assay for LoVo and HCT-15 cell viability. D Transwell assay for LoVo and HCT-15 cell migration ability. E Transwell assay for LoVo and HCT-15 cell invasion ability. F Flow cytometry for LoVo and HCT-15 cell apoptosis. Results were expressed as magnitude of relative expression (means ± SD) from three independent experiments. Two-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05
