Fig. 5. circTADA2A-E6 binds to miR-203a-3p and restores the expression of SOCS3.

a After circTADA2A-E6 or empty vectors were transfected in MDA-MB-231 cells, the localization of endogenous or ectopic circTADA2A-E6 was detected by RNA in situ hybridization (FISH). Red, Cy3-labeled probes specific to circTADA2A-E6; blue, DAPI stain for nuclei. Scale bar, 20 μm. b A schematic drawing showing the putative binding sites of the miRNAs associated with circTADA2A-E6. miR-214 family members (miR-214-3p, miR-761, miR-3619-5p, and miR-4291) share the same binding site as miR-302 family members (miR-302c-3p, miR-520d-3p, and miR-520f-3p) and miR-342 family members (miR-342-3p and miR-1229). c After co-transfecting phRluc-circTADA2A-E6 plasmids with miRNA mimics in 293T cells, Renilla luciferase activity was measured. d FISH analysis on the co-localization of circTADA2A-E6 and miR-203a-3p in MCF-7 cells. Red, Cy3-labeled probes specific to circTADA2A-E6; green, FITC-labeled probes specific to miR-203a-3p; blue, DAPI stain for nuclei. Scale bar, 20 μm. e The circTADA2A-E6/miR-203a-3p and miR-302c-3p/mRNA axes were generated after Cytoscape analysis. f After transfecting MCF-7 cells with the circTADA2A-E6 vector, siRNA #1 or #2, miR-203a-3p mimic, or miR-203a-3p inhibitor, the expression of SOCS3 was analyzed by western blotting (WB)
