Figure 7. Knockdown of HMGA2 abolishes the oncogenic effect induced by hsa_circ_0006948 in ESCC. (A and B) The cell proliferation was measured by CCK8 assays. (C) The invasion ability was evaluated by transwell Matrigel invasion assays. (D) The upregulation of vimentin, N-cadherin. HMGA2 and the downregulation of E-cadherin in TE-1 and KYSE30 cells transfected with hsa_ciic_0006948 overexpression plasmid were abolished by knockdown of HMGA2 as detected by Western blot analysis. (E) A mechanistic model: hsa_circ_0006948 functions as a miR-490-3p sponge and regulates HMGA2 through inhibiting miR-490-3p activity in ESCC cells' EMT. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
