The expression of HGF and c-MET can affect the proliferation and invasion of lung cancer and esophageal cancer. A qRT-PCR analysis of HGF and c-MET expression after silencing the gene. B 500 cells were seeded in 6-well plates, and after 2 weeks of culture, representative images of foci formation in monolayer culture between NC, HGF-SI and c-MET-SI cells, and the number of colonies detected. C The cell proliferation rate between NC, HGFSI and c-MET-SI cells were measured by CCK8 assay. D Scratch test detects cell invasion ability between NC, HGF-SI and c-MET-SI cells. * Represents p < 0.05, ** represents p < 0.01
