Fig. 8: SOX2 mediates the LINC00941-regulated promotion of ESCC progression.

A The proliferative abilities of the indicated cells were assessed by colony formation assay. B The sphere-formation abilities of the indicated cells were assessed by sphere-formation assay. C The wound areas on confluent monolayers of the indicated cells at different time points. D The migration and invasion abilities of the indicated cells were assessed by transwell assay. *P < 0.05 compared with the control cells; #P < 0.05 compared with LINC00941 + siControl group. The experiments are representative of three independent experiments with similar results.
