Western blotting analysis also demonstrated that the knockdown of lncRNA NORAD or the transfection of miR-200c-3p mimics decreased the protein levels of glycolysis-related proteins (HK2, GALE, and SMIM22) in NSCLC cells, while the miR-200c-3p inhibitor could increase the protein levels of these markers (Fig. 6E, F). Here, HK2 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
