EGFR-AS1 activates ACTN4-mediated WNT pathway in CC cells. a The knockdown efficacy of sh-ACTN4#1/2 on was tested by qRT-PCR in CC cells. b Expression levels of WNT pathway downstream genes in sh-ACTN4#1 transfected cells were detected by qRT-PCR in CC cells. c The effect of ACTN4 deficiency on the nuclear translocation of CTNNB1 (β-catenin) was detected by subcellular fractionation assay. d TOP/FOP flash assay was performed to measure the activity of WNT pathway upon ACTN4 knockdown. e, f Detection of mRNA and protein levels of WNT pathway downstream genes in CC cells transfected with sh-EGFR-AS1#1 was detected by qRT-PCR and western blot assays. g, h The nuclear translocation of CTNNB1 (β-catenin) was observed in sh-EGFR-AS1#1 group and sh-NC group. i Impact of EGFR-AS1 silencing on WNT pathway activity was detected. j–l Cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion in cell transfected with sh-NC, sh-EGFR-AS1#1 and sh-EGFR-AS1#1 + LiCl were assessed by EdU, flow cytometry and transwell assays. **P < 0.01
