Effect of circLPAR3 knockdown on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) progression. KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells were transfected with (short hairpin) sh-circLPAR3#1/2 or short hairpin-negative control (sh-NC). (A) The expression of circLPAR3 was detected by qRT-PCR to evaluate transfection efficiency. (B, C) CCK-8 assay was used to assess the viability of KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells. (D) Colony formation assay was performed to measure the number of colonies in KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells. (E, F) The number of migrated and invaded KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells was determined by transwell assay. (G) Western blot (WB) analysis was performed to assess the protein levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Ki-67, matrix metalloproteinase2 (MMP2) and MMP9 in KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells. *P < 0.05.
