In addition, rescue assays showed that co-transfection of AS-tDR-007333 with si-MED29 into NSCLC cells resulted in significantly decreased of cell proliferation, compared with that of transfection of AS-tDR-007333 alone (Additional file 2: Fig. S6c, S6d), suggesting that the biological function of AS-tDR-007333 was partly dependent on MED29. Here, MED29 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
