Fig. 2From: LncRNA MSTO2P promotes colorectal cancer progression through epigenetically silencing CDKN1A mediated by EZH2Inhibition of MSTO2P suppresses proliferation and invasion of CRC cells. MSTO2P was knocked down in HT-29 and SW480 cells by transfecting cells with si-MSTO2P for 24 h. A The transfection efficiency of si-MSTO2P was confirmed by RT-qPCR assay. B CCK-8 assay demonstrated that knockdown of MSTO2P dramatically suppressed cell viability. C, D Colony formation assay clarified that suppression of MSTO2P reduced cell colonies. E, F Transwell assay displayed that the downregulation of MSTO2P significantly suppressed cell invasion. Bar values= 100 μm. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, and ***p<0.001Back to article page
