The function of miR‐498 in TMPO‐AS1‐regulated EC cell progression. (a–d) Transwell assay was used to analyze cell migratory and invasive abilities in hypoxia‐administered EC109 and KYSE70 cells transfected with si‐NC, si‐TMPO‐AS1, si‐TMPO‐AS1 + anti‐NC, si‐TMPO‐AS1 + anti‐miR‐498, respectively. (e and f) The levels of EMT markers and HIF‐1α were detected by western blot assay. *P < 0.05. EC109+Hypoxia:
