LncRNA TCF7 Promotes Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Viability, Mobility and Stemness via Regulating ITGB8
This study aimed to investigate the carcinogenic role of long non-coding RNA T-cell factor 7 (lnc-TCF7) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Lnc-TCF7 overexpression and shRNA plasmids were transfected into SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells, followed by measurement of cell proliferation, migration, invasion, apo...
