EGFL6 and ovarian cancer: Here, a CRISPR/Cas9 system was used to knockout the EGFL6 gene in the ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3, using specific guide RNA targeting the exons of EGFL6. The knockout of EGFL6 markedly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of SKOV3 cells, as well as promoted apoptosis of tumor cells.
