Overexpression of CCL14-AS suppresses invasiveness and lymph node metastasis of CRC cells. A A basal level of CCL14-AS was determined using qRT-PCR assay in the non-malignant human colon epithelial cell line NCM460 and several CRC cell lines (including SW480, SW837, SW620, HCT116, DLD-1, LoVo, COLO205 and RKO). B qRT-PCR analysis was performed to detect the expression levels of CCL14-AS in LoVo and SW620 cells with or without CCL14-AS stable overexpression. C Wound healing assay showing cell migration of LoVo(left) and SW620(right) cells with or without CCL14-AS overexpression. Scale bar: 100 μm. D Migration and invasion of LoVo (left) and SW620 cells (right) with or without CCL14-AS overexpression were evaluated by using transwell assays. Scale bar: 500 μm. E Popliteal lymph nodes volume and size were significantly decreased in the CCL14-AS overexpression group compared with the control group. F Representative images of the lymph node stained with H&E(left) in the CCL14-AS overexpression group. Scale bar: 100 μm. Statistical results of the metastatic ratios of lymph nodes in the Vector control and CCL14-AS-Overexpresed group (right). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001
