Human normal breast epithelial cell line
MCF 10A (CBP60419) and breast cancer cell lines AU565 (CBP60353),
MCF-7 (CBP60380),
MDA-MB-157 (CBP60381) and
MDA-MB-231 (CBP60382) were all purchased from Cobioer (Nanjing, China). Plasmids including
si-NC,
si-LINC00461,
inhibitor NC,
miR-144-3p inhibitor,
mimic NC,
miR-144-3p mimic,
oe-NC, oe-KPNA2 were ordered from GenePharma (Shanghai, China), and the siRNAs were sequenced as below:
si-LINC00461: 5′-CTGCAAAGAAGCATAAAATGA-3′;
si-NC: 5′-TTCTCCGAACGTG TCACGT-3′.
Before transfection, cells were grown in 6-well plates (3 × 10
5 cells/well) until the density reached 50%. 250 μL of serum-free
Opti-MEM (51985042, Gibco, Gaitherburg, MD, USA) was used to dilute the target plasmids (4 μg) and
Lipofectamin 2000 reagent (10 μL; 11668-019, Invitrogen, NY, California, USA), respectively. Thereafter, the dilutions were mixed, and then dripped into cells after 20 min. All cells were maintained in 5% CO
2 at 37 °C for 6 h, and cultured for additional 36–48 h with fresh mediums.
