Effect of HMGB1 overexpression on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) progression. (A) The protein level of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was detected by Western blot (WB) analysis to evaluate the transfection efficiency of HMGB1 overexpression plasmid. KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells were co-transfected with (short hairpin) sh-circLPAR3#1 and HMGB1 overexpression plasmid. (B) CCK-8 assay was performed to measure the viability of KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells. (C) Colony formation assay was used to test the number of colonies in KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells. (D, E) The number of migrated and invaded KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells was assessed by transwell assay. (F) The protein levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Ki-67, matrix metalloproteinase2 (MMP2) and MMP9 in KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells were determined by WB analysis. *P < 0.05.
