TMPO-AS1 promotes NPC cell proliferation while prohibiting cell apoptosis via BCAT1. A The overexpression efficacy of BCAT1 in 5-8F and CNE-1 cells was evaluated by western blot. B Western blot analysis of BCAT1 protein level in NPC cells with si-NC, si-TMPO-AS1, or pcDNA3.1/BCAT1 + si-TMPO-AS1. C-D MTT and EdU assays for cell viability and proliferation detection. E–G TUNEL assays and flow cytometry analyses for cell apoptosis evaluation. ^**p < 0.01, ^***p < 0.001
