To study whether Sp1 promotes cell cycle through the expression regulation of these molecules in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, CNE2, HNE1 and HK1 cells were transfected with siSp1 and siNC for 48 h, followed by analysis for the levels of Sp1, CDK4, p27 and p21. Here, SP1 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
