A SLCO4A1-AS1 expression in CD133+CD44+ cells and HCT116 cells detected by western blot assay. B The migration ability of CD133+CD44+ cells detected by scratch test. C The invasion ability of CD133+CD44+ cells detected by transwell assay. D The sphere formation ability of CD133+CD44+ cells detected by suspension sphere formation assay. E The apoptosis of colon cancer cell CD133+CD44+ cells detected by flow cytometry. F The weight of tumors of nude mice. G The volume of tumors of nude mice. H SLCO4A1-AS1 expression in tumors of nude mice detected by western blot assay. *p < 0.05 vs. cells co-transfected with oe-NC and miR-150-3p mimic. The data were the measurement data and expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. Unpaired t-test was applied for the comparison of data between two groups. The cell experiment was repeated three times. Repeated measurement ANOVA was applied for data comparison between groups at different time points with Bonferroni’s post hoc test. n = 8. The cell experiment was repeated three times.
