Fig. 3. circFASN interacts with miR-33a in the liver.

Fig. 3

a Sequence base pairing between circFASN and miR-33a-5p. The seed region is fully complementary to the sequence of circFASN. b Relative expression of predicted miR-33a-targeting circRNAs in Hep-G2 cells detected by qPCR. c circFASN could only be amplified by random primers. d circFASN is resistant to RNase R treatment. e The luciferase reporter assay indicated that circFASN directly interacts with miR-33a-5p at the predicted interaction site in human cells. f miR-33a expression increased after the silencing of circFASN in Hep-G2 cells. Data represent the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, NS, not significant. The experiments were independently repeated at least three times.
