Expression and role of the long noncoding RNA Linc00909 in chemoradiotherapy for colorectal cancer

Figure 3 Linc00909 regulates cell cycle progression and sphere formation in rectal cancer cells in vitro. A and B: Cell cycle distribution across all cell lines was analyzed by flow cytometry; C and D: Sphere formation assays were performed to evaluate the stem cell-like properties of the colorectal cancer cell lines. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, ^cP < 0.001. 5-FU: 5-Fluorouracil; CON: Control; OE: Overexpression; RT: Radiotherapy; VEC: Vector control.
