Correspondingly, cell migration in SW480 and HT-29 cells with different treatments was respectively assessed based on the expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin (Fig. 2F), indicating that CRC metastatic abilities were activated with upregulated hsa_circRNA_102051 while repressed by si-circRNA blockade. This evidence concerns the gene CDH2 and colorectal carcinoma.
