LINC00511 knockdown inhibits the malignant phenotypes of CRC. (A) The knockdown efficiency of LINC00511 in HT-29 and HCT8 cells was examined by RT-qPCR. (B) The number of spheroids was determined by performing sphere formation assay. (C) Western blot assay was adopted to determine the levels of proteins (Sox-2, Oct-4, CD44 and Nanog) associated with stemness. (D–E) CCK-8 and colony formation assays were separately used to detect cell viability and proliferation. (F–G) Cell migration and invasion abilities were ensured by transwell assays. *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
