Suppression of XIST expression reduced cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and induced apoptosis in CRC cells. si-NC or si-XIST were transfected into HT29 and SW480 cells. Cell proliferation was measured using the CCK-8 assay (a) and flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis (b). A transwell assay was used to measure the migration (c) and invasion (d) of cells. ^*p < 0.05; ^**p < 0.01
