The luciferase reporter assay validated that the activity of the reporter containing 3′-UTR of GALNT7 was decreased when the cells were transfected with miR-494 mimic in 6-10B cells (p = 0.030), 9-4E cells (p < 0.001), and CNE2 cells (p = 0.026) (Fig. 6b), while that of CDK16 was also decreased in three NPC cells (p = 0.013, p = 0.034, and p = 0.018, respectively) (Fig. 6d). Here, CDK16 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
