OXT and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Subsequently, through CCK8, scratch healing, cell invasion and flow cytometry assays, we revealed that inhibiting the expression of SOX2-OT could inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of NSCLC cells and promote cell apoptosis; while simultaneous overexpression of PDK1 or inhibition of miR-30d-5p expression could reverse the inhibitory effect of SOX2-OT silence-mediated malignant progression of NSCLC cells.
