Fig. 3. Knockdown of lncRNA ZNFX1-AS1 inhibits cell migration, invasion, in vitro as well as metastasis in vivo.

Fig. 3

a The migration and invasion abilities were detected by transwell assay in SW620 and LOVO cells after transfection of lncRNA ZNFX1-AS1 siRNAs (*P < 0.05). b The migration was measured by wound healing assay in SW620 cells after transfection of lncRNA ZNFX1-AS1 siRNAs (*P < 0.05). c The cell invasion abilities were measured in SW480 and HT-29 cells after ectopic expression of lncRNA ZNFX1-AS1 (*P < 0.05). d immunofluorescence analysis showed that knockdown of lncRNA ZNFX1-AS1 increased the level of epithelial marker E-cadherin while reduced the level of mesenchymal marker N-cadherin. e real-time PCR showed that knockdown of lncRNA ZNFX1-AS1 increased the level of epithelial markers such as E-cadherin, α-catenin, β-catenin while reduced the level of mesenchymal markers such as N-cadherin, vimetin, snail and slug. f The stable lncRNA ZNFX1-AS1 knockdown SW620 cells were used for the in vivo metastasis assay, the micro-metastasis in the lung and in the liver from the two groups were shown (*P < 0.05)
