Knockdown of NKILA promote NSCLC cell migration, invasion and proliferation. (a and b) The stable knockdown efficiency of two specific shRNA against NKILA was examined by qRT-PCR in A549 and H226 cells. (c and d) The migration and invasion ability of NKILA silenced A549 (c) and H226 (d) as well as the mock-vehicle control were detected by transwell assay, and images were obtained at 100× magnification. The cell numbers of migration and invasion were compared between groups. (e and f) Cell proliferation ability were compared between the NKILA shRNA stable transfection and negative control in A549 and H226 cells. Each experiment was performed in triplicate. Data are expressed as means ± SEM. Two-tailed Student’s t-test was used. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001
