Through assessing cell viability, colony numbers, and the EdU-positive cells, we found that miR-1827 overexpression could repress NSCLC cell proliferation, while this effect could be reversed by SLC1A5 overexpression (Fig. 6 C–F and Supplementary Fig. 3 A–B). The gene discussed is SLC1A5; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
