Overexpression of NKILA inhibited NSCLC cell migration, invasion and proliferation. (a and b) NKILA expression levels of A549 and H226 cells stable transfected with NKILA or mock-vehicle control were examined by qRT-PCR. (c and d) The migration and invasion ability of NKILA overexpressed 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) The cell proliferation ability were compared between the NKILA stable transfection and negative control in A549 and H226 cells. Data are expressed as means ± SEM, n = 3. Two-tailed Student’s t-test was used. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001
