Effect of downregulation of XIST on glioma cell proliferation and metastasis. (A) Following transfection with sh-XIST, XIST was significantly downregulated. The transfection of sh-XIST further potentiated miR-133a in U251 cells. (B) Cell viability of U251 lines following sh-XIST transfection. (C) Cell migration (magnification, ×16) and (D) cell invasion assay of glioma cells (magnification, ×100). (E) Western blot results demonstrated the expression levels of E-cadherin N-cadherin, α-catenin and vimentin in glioma cells following sh-XIST transfection. (F) Expression levels of SOX4 transcription factor. n=3, *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 vs. sh-NC. XIST, X-inactive specific transcript; sh, small hairpin RNA; miR, microRNA; SOX, SRY-box; NC, negative control; OD, optical density.
