Low expression circHIPK3 suppressed GEM-resistant PC cells’ proliferation, invasive, migration, and enhance cell apoptosis. (A) CCK8 assay showed that negative control or circHIPK3 knockdown could significantly inhibit PANC-1-GEM and SW 1990-GEM cells’ proliferation. (B–E) Wound healing, transwell assays showed that negative control or circHIPK3 knockdown could significantly inhibit PANC-1-GEM and SW 1990-GEM cells’ invasive, migration. (F, G) Flow cytometry showed that negative control or circHIPK3 knockdown could significantly inhibit PANC-1-GEM and SW 1990-GEM cells’ apoptosis. (H) BALB/c nude mice injected with PANC-1/GEM cells transfected with negative control or circHIPK3 knockdown could significantly inhibit PANC-1-GEM tumor Xenografts in vitro and analysis of tumor volume of mice measured every week. Data represent mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 represents compared with control group. #P < 0.05 represents compared with GEM-resistant group.
