DANCR knockdown suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. a Relative expression of DANCR was detected by qRT-PCR in different TSCC cell lines. b CAL-27 and TCa-8113 cells were transfected with siRNAs against DANCR. The relative expression of DANCR was detected by qRT-PCR. c The viability of CAL-27 and TCa-8113 cells was assessed by MTT assay. d, e The migration and invasion of CAL-27 and TCa-8113 cells was determined using wound healing assay and transwell assay, respectively. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; ^&p < 0.05, ^&&p < 0.01, ^&&&p  < 0.001, versus to si-NC
