eIF3e promotes the proliferative and migrative ability of ESCC. (A), the graph summarized the design of bio-functional assay. (B), the effeciency of the knockdown was validated through the Cy3-modified expression under light microscope and fluorescence microscope. (C and D), the effect of the knockdown was validated through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. β-actin was used as an internal reference. (E), the proliferative ability was assessed with CCK-8 assay at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after transfection. (F), the migrative ability was assessed with Transwell assay. (ns: no significance, * p <0.05, **p <0.01, ***p < 0.001).
