TPT1-AS1 promotes cell colony formation, proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT progress in CC cells in vitro. a C33A and CaSki cells that were transfected with corresponding lncRNA vectors were subjected to qRT-PCR for TPT1-AS1 expression. Overexpression of TPT1-AS1 promoted cell colony formation (b), proliferation (c), migration (d) and invasion (e) in C33A cells, while down-regulation of TPT1-AS1 inhibited cell colony formation (b), proliferation (c), migration (d) and invasion (e) in CaSki cells. f Western blot analysis of EMT-related markers expression in the presence and absence of TPT1-AS1. n = six independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
