Knockdown of CCL14-AS promotes invasiveness and lymph node metastasis of CRC cells. A Detection of CCL14-AS level by qRT-PCR in CCL14-AS-konckdowned HCT116 and RKO cells. B, C Wound healing assay showing cell migration of HCT116 and RKO cells with or without CCL14-AS knockdown. Scale bar: 100 μm. D Migration and invasion of HCT116 and RKO cells with or without CCL14-AS knockdown were evaluated by using transwell assays. Scale bar: 500 μm. E Popliteal lymph nodes volume and size were significantly increased in the CCL14-AS knockdown group compared with the control group. F Representative images of the lymph node stained with H&E (left) in the CCL14-AS knockdown group. Scale bar: 100 μm. Statistical results of the metastatic ratios of lymph nodes in the Scramble control and CCL14-AS knockdown group (right). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001
