Downregulation of SREBP2 inhibits ESCC cell growth and migration. (A) Knockdown of SREBP2 expression in ESCC cells. (B) Effects of SREBP2 knockdown on ESCC cell migration were evaluated using Boyden chamber assays. Magnification, ×20. (C) Effects of SREBP2 knockdown on the anchorage-independent growth of ESCC cells were evaluated by soft agar assays. Magnification, ×20. **P<0.01 vs. respective sh con. Con, control; sh, short hairpin RNA; SREBP2, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2; ESCC, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
