ERBB2 regulates the invasion and metastasis of ESCC cells and reverses biological effects of FTO. A, B RT-PCR and western blot was used to analyze the mRNA and protein level of ERBB2 in KYSE150 cells. C The CCK-8 assays showed that down-regulation of ERBB2 could inhibit the proliferation of KYSE150 cells. D, E Transwell assay was used to analyze the ability of down-regulation of ERBB2 to inhibit KYSE150 cell invasion and migration. The bar chart shows the corresponding quantitative analysis (right). F Western blot experiment verified the efficiency of the up-regulation ERBB2 expression and the promotion of EMT by the up-regulation ERBB2 expression. G The up-regulation of ERBB2 expression restored the down-regulation of FTO to the inhibition of ERBB2 expression using RT-PCR. H CCK-8 assay confirmed that up-regulation ERBB2 expression restored down-regulated FTO to KYSE150 cell proliferation inhibition. I, K and H Migration (I) invasion (K) and colony formation (H) assays showed that up-regulation of ERBB2 expression restored down-regulated FTO to KYSE150 cell migration, invasion and proliferation inhibition. The bar chart shows the corresponding quantitative analysis (right). The data was presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3). The two-tailed Student’s t-test, one-way ANOVA and two-way ANOVA were used to perform comparison between two groups and more groups, respectively. n.s no statistical significance. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
