Inhibition of XIST suppresses bladder cancer cell proliferation or migration. 253J and RT112 cells were transfected with NC siRNA, XIST siRNA1 or XIST siRNA2. (A) qPCR was used to examine the expression of XIST. (B and C) A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and (D and E) a wound healing assay (magnification, ×40) were used to assess the effects of the treatments on cell proliferation and migration, respectively. **P<0.01 vs. siNC. XIST, X inactive specific transcript; siRNA, small interfering RNA; siNC, negative control siRNA; siXIST, siRNA targeting XIST; OD, optical density.
