Knockdown of lncRNAXLOC_001659 inhibits proliferation and invasion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells

Figure 5 PIK3CA overexpression partially rescues the inhibition of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell growth and invasion mediated by the lncRNAXLOC_001659 knockdown and miR-490-5p overexpression. A: Colony formation as determined by colony formation assay. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01; B: Number of invasive cells detected using Transwell invasion assay. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01. The results are presented as the mean ± standard deviation from three independent experiments.
