Colony formation (a–e) and invasion (f–j) results after siRNA-IL-6 knock down. As compared to the hep2-CSC group, siRNA-IL-6 or cisplatin treated hep2-CSC contained fewer cell colonies. The lowest degree of colony formation was observed when cisplatin treatment was combined with siRNA-IL-6. The siRNA-IL-6 or cisplatin treated hep2-CSC showed less invasion as compared with the hep2-CSC control. Again, the combination of cisplatin treatment with siRNA-IL-6 produced the lowest amount of invasion among the four groups. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs hep2-CSC control; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 vs siRNA-IL6 group; ^^^p < 0.001 vs cisplatin group
