Overexpression of RP11-620J15.3 promotes glycolysis and progression in HCC. A The expression of RP11-620J15.3 in Huh-7 and HCC-LM3 cells transfected with RP11-620J15.3 plasmid. B, C CCK-8 and colony-formation assay demonstrated the proliferation ability of Huh-7 and HCC-LM3 cells. D, E Scratch wound-healing assay and Transwell invasion assay showed the migration and invasion abilities of the cells. F–H Changes in the glycolysis-related metabolites in HCC cells overexpressing RP11-620J15.3. I Changes in the ECAR rate in HCC cells overexpressing RP11-620J15.3. J, K The mRNA and protein expression of the related lipogenic enzymes in Huh7 and HCC-LM3 cells overexpressing RP11-620J15.3. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
