Inhibition of squalene epoxidase (SQLE) expression reduced proliferation, migration, and invasion in lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) H520 cells and was verified by (a) quantitative real time‐PCR and (b,c) Western blotting. (d) Lung cancer cell proliferation was assayed using Cell Counting Kit 8. Negative control (NC);
SQLE‐1853;
SQLE‐1640. (e) Cell migration was detected by wound healing assay. (f) Cell invasion was detected by transwell assay. Each assay was repeated at least three times. Data from one representative experiment is presented as mean ± standard deviation. **, P < 0.01 ***, P < 0.001. GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3‐phosphate dehydrogenase; mRNA, messenger RNA; OD, optical density.
