INHBA silencing suppressed the proliferation and migration of colon cancer cells. Western blot analysis revealed that transfection with siINHBA effectively reduced INHBA expression in HCT116 along with SW620 cells (A). CCK8 assessment exhibited that INHBA silencing dampened the proliferation of HCT116 along with SW620 cells (B). Wound healing assessment illustrated that INHBA silencing dampened the migration of HCT116 along with SW620 (C). Western blotting assessment illustrated that INHBA silencing reduced the contents of the cell proliferation‐associated protein MCM2 and the cell migration‐associated protein MMP‐2 (D). Data are given as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *, **, and *** indicate p = < 0.05, <0.01 and <0.001 compared with NC
