Interestingly, we also assessed the effects of NEAT1 on cell apoptosis in CRC cells by flow cytometry analysis, indicating that the index of cell apoptosis in sh‐NEAT1 transfected LOVO and HCT116 cell lines was markedly increased as compared to sh‐NC group (Figure S2A), but NEAT1 overexpression decreased the cell apoptosis in SW480 cell line (Figure S2B). This evidence concerns the gene NEAT1 and colorectal carcinoma.
