UCA1 plays an oncogenic role in EC cells. (a) and (b) UCA1 expression was detected by transfection with si-NC, si-UCA1-1, and si-UCA1-2 into EC109 and KYSE150 cells. (c) and (d) The effects of UCA1 knockdown on the proliferation of EC109 and KYSE150 cell lines. (e) and (f) Trans-well assays were performed to detect the effects of UCA1 silencing on cell migration and invasion in EC cells. Quantification of migrated and invaded cells was performed for five randomly selected fields (original magnification: 200x). Student’s t test was used; , , and .
