Transwell migration assay, Transwell invasion assay, and wound healing assays showed that SNHG16 knockdown significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of CRC cells (Fig. 2E and Fig. 2G), whereas SNHG16 overexpression promoted the migration and invasion of CRC cells (Fig. 2F and Fig. 2H). Here, SNHG16 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
