The effect of BCAT1 siRNA on proliferation and migration of ESCC cells. a The mRNA expression of BCAT1 in KYSE-150 and Eca109 cells transfected with BCAT1 siRNA or NC siRNA were determined by qRT-PCR. b-c The effect of BCAT1 siRNA on KYSE-150 and Eca109 cells proliferation was detected by CCK8 assay (b) and colony formation assay (c). d The effect of BCAT1 siRNA on KYSE-150 and Eca109 cells migration was detected by transwell assay. The experiments were performed in triplicate and each value represents mean ± SD. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001
