lncRNA XIST was overexpressed in CRC and was associated with CRC clinical progression. XIST expression was evaluated using qRT-PCR assay in the CRC cells and the normal colon cells (A), CRC cancer tissues and the paired or associated tumor adjacent tissues (B), the CRC tumors with size more than or less than 5 cm (C), the CRC tumor samples with N0 state and N1 stage (D), CRC tumor samples with the M0 stage and M1 stage (E), and the CRC tumor samples with the TNM stage I +II and TNM stage III+IV (F). * p<0.05 was calculated with the t test.
