Downregulation of miR-135a-5p rescues the inhibition of colorectal cancer (CRC) cell proliferation induced by depletion of circ_0001946. (A) The predicted binding regions of circ_0001946 on miR-135a-5p (upper panel) and the relative luciferase activity in 293T cells after co-transfection with either pmirGLO-Circ_0001946-WT or pmirGLO-Circ_0001946-MUT, along with either miR-135a-5p specific mimics or negative control (NC). (B) The expression of miR-135a-5p in circ_0001946-downregulated LoVo cells and the successful downregulation of miR-135a-5p in LoVo cells after transfection with circ_0001946-specific siRNAs using miR-135a-5p inhibitors. (C) The growth of circ_0001946-downregulated LoVo cells, with or without depletion of miR-135a-5p, as detected by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. All experiments were repeated at least three times. ***P < 0.001.
