To investigate the antitumour efficacy of pachymic acid (PA), which is a fungal extract component, on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells CNE-1, CNE-2.
CD133- cells were obtained from human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells (CNE-1 and CNE-2) based on CD133-labeled fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS), respectively.
This study examined four human cancer cell lines including A549 (lung adenocarcinoma), U251MG (glioma), Tca8113 (tongue squamous carcinoma), and CNE-2 (nasopharyngeal carcinoma).
Then, Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) were performed to examine TLN1 levels, and qPCR was used to determine miR-429 levels in NPC cell lines with different metastatic characteristics (5-8F, CNE-2, CNE-1, 6-10B and NP69), to investigate whether TLN1 and miR-429 are correlated with the metastatic characteristics of these cells.
<b>Objective:</b> The purpose of our study is to investigate the role of miR-17-5p in angiogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the crosstalk between HUVECs and CNE-2 via exosomes.
Seventy-two nude mice were implanted with CNE-1 (low radio-sensitive) and CNE-2 (high radio-sensitive) NPC cell lines, and their respective xenografts were obtained.
