The nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69, NPC cell lines
SUNE1,
C666-1, 6-10B, and HNE-3 were purchased from ATCC (USA). Cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin at 37°C in an incubator with 5% CO
2. Culture related reagents were purchased from GIBCO Invitrogen (USA).
The targets of Let-7g-5p predicted by computer-aided algorithms were obtained from TargetScan, microRNA and miRBase. The Let-7g-5p mimics were transfected into the cells by
Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Empty vector was used as negative control.
The IGF-lR cDNA was subcloned into
pcDNA3.1 (Sangon Biotech, China) to construct a pcDNA-IGF-1R expression vector. IGF-1R transfection was performed using
Lipofectamine 2000 following the manufacturer’s protocol.
