LINC00665 was found to exhibit high expression in CRC cells and modulated CRC cell growth, migration and invasion. A Quantification of LINC00665 expression in different cell lines was conducted via qRT-PCR. B The interference efficacy of sh-LINC00665 in cells was determined via qRT-PCR. C EdU experiments were conducted to examine cell proliferation after LINC00665 silence (×100 magnification). D JC-1 detected cell apoptosis under conditions of sh-LINC00665 transfection (×200 magnification). E Flow cytometry was performed to test cell apoptosis under the condition of sh-LINC00665 transfection. F, G Cell migration and invasion was testified via transwell assays in response to inhibition of LINC00665 (×100 magnification). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
