CircDCAF8 acts as a sponge of miR-217. A Downstream miRNAs of circDCAF8 predicted by circbank and circinteractome databases. B Relative expression of downstream miRNAs was determined by qRT-PCR in circDCAF8 knockdown and overexpression cells. C Relative expression of miR-217 in human HCC tissues and paired adjacent nontumor tissues of 64 patients was determined by qRT-PCR. D Spearman correlation analysis showed circDCAF8 expression was negatively correlated with the miR-217 expression. E Pull down assays showed that miR-217 was enriched by the circDCAF8 probe. F RIP assay confirmed circDCAF8 and miR-217 could bind with RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). G A schematic of wild-type (WT) and mutant (MUT) circDCAF8 luciferase reporter vectors. H Luciferase reporter assay unveiled the molecular combination of miR-217 with circDCAF8 wild type in HEK-293T cells. Data are presented as means ± SDs.
