Effects of miR-378a-5p inhiation are partly reversed by the downregulation of LINC00514 and SPHK1 in ESCC cells. (A) ESCC cell proliferation was assessed using a CCK-8 assay in the NC inhibitor, miR-378a-5p inhibitor, miR-378a-5p inhibitor + LINC00514 siRNA2 and SPHK1 siRNA groups. (B) Cell invasive ability was detected using a Transwell chamber assay in the various groups. (C) Quantification of the number of cells that had invaded in the various groups. Data was compared using a one-way ANOVA with a post hoc Tukey's test. (D) Western blot analysis of the expression of SPHK1, FASN, ACACA and SCD1 expression in the various groups. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001. SPHK1, sphingosine kinase 1; ESCC, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; miR, microRNA; LINC00514, long intergenic nonprotein-coding RNA 00514; siRNA, small interfering RNA; NC, negative control; FASN, fatty acid synthetase; ACACA, acetyl-CoA carboxylase α; SCD1, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1.
