SNHG7 is highly expressed and knockdown of it represses cell proliferation and facilitates cell apoptosis in NPC. a The expression of SNHG7 in NPC cells and nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line was examined by RT-qPCR. b The knockdown efficiency of SNHG7 was detected via RT-qPCR. c-e The effect of SNHG7 deficiency on cell growth in NPC was measured by CCK-8, colony formation and EdU assays. f Western blot assay examined the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in transfected cells. These blots were cropped. The uncropped blots were shown in Supplementary figure 2. g Caspase-3 activity reflected cell apoptosis in transfected cells. GAPDH was used as an internal control. Error bars represent the mean ± SD of at least three independent experiments. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01
