a, b Knockdown or overexpression efficiencies of lncRNA KB-1980E6.3 were assessed by qRT-PCR analysis. c The volcano plot showing the differential genes between lncRNA KB-1980E6.3 overexpressing tumor cells and their control cells under normoxia conditions. d The heat map showing the top 100 upregulated genes between lncRNA KB-1980E6.3 overexpressing tumor cells and their control cells under normoxia conditions. e KEGG pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes in (c). Representative genes were shown in the right panel. fh Mammosphere formation abilities were assessed in lncRNA KB-1980E6.3 knockdown and control breast cancer cells. Representative images of spheres, mammosphere numbers, and mammosphere sizes are shown in (f), (g), and (h), respectively. Scale bar, 100 μm. i Tumor initiation incidence in nude mice injected with indicated sphere cells from Hs578T shNC or shKB under administration of bevacizumab (10 mg/kg). Data are shown as mean ± SD of three independent experiments (**P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001).
