The three lncRNAs promote cancer cell migration and proliferation. a Relative expression of the three lncRNAs in various human esophageal cancer cells and immortalized esophageal cells was detected by qRT-PCR. SiRNAs against RP11-366H4.1.1 or LINC00460 were transfected into KYSE150 cells and siRNA against AC093850.2 was transfected into KYSE70 cells. At 24 h post transfection, cells were starved for 12 h in medium without serum and cell migration (b) and colony formation assays (c) were performed. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
