CircCDR1as is a decoy of miR‐219a‐5p in NSCLC cells. (a) The binding sites of circCDR1as and miR‐219a‐5p were predicted by starBase. (b and c) Luciferase activity was measured in A549 and Calu‐3 cells transfected with circCDR1as‐WT or circCDR1as‐MUT and miR‐NC or miR‐219a‐5p. () miR‐NC and (
) miR‐219a‐5p. (d and e) The expression of miR‐219a‐5p was detected in A549 and Calu‐3 cells transfected with pcDNA, circCDR1as, si‐NC or si‐circCDR1as#1 by qRT‐PCR. (d) (
) pcDNA and (
) circCDR1as. (e) (
) si‐NC and (
) si‐circCDR1as#1. (f) The expression of miR‐219a‐5p was measured in NSCLC tissues and normal tissues (n = 30) by qRT‐PCR. (g) The level of miR‐219a‐5p was detected in A549 and Calu‐3 cells by qRT‐PCR. (h) The linear relationship between the levels of miR‐219a‐5p and circCDR1as in NSCLC tissues was analyzed. *P < 0.05.
