CEBPB and colorectal carcinoma: We further investigated the function of CEBPB in CRC using Transwell assays (Fig. 8I, J), wound healing assays (Additional file 7: Figure S7F, G), colony formation assays (Fig. 8K and Additional file 7: Figure S7H), and CCK8 assays (Additional file 7: Figure S7I), which indicated that the migration and proliferation abilities were inhibited when CEBPB expression was downregulated in CRC cells.
