Fig. 1. circATRNL1 regulates proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT process in endometriosis.

Fig. 1

a The expression level of circATRNL1 in 60 ovary endometriosis tissue samples was examined by using qRT-PCR. bcircATRNL1 was overexpressed in Ishikawa cells by transfecting with lentivirus-mediated vector pHBLV-ATRNL1. NC was used as a control. ccircATRNL1 was silenced in Ishikawa cells by transfecting with specific sh-ATRNL1. shRNA-NC was used as a control. d CCK-8 assays were conducted to determine the influence of circATRNL1 on cell proliferation. e Transwell migration assays showed that circATRNL1 regulated the migrative potential of Ishikawa cells. Photographs were taken at ×200 magnification. Scale bar represents 100 μm. f Transwell invasion assays showed that circATRNL1 regulated the invasive potential of Ishikawa cells. g Western blot analysis was utilized to analyze the impacts of circATRNL1 overexpression or knockdown on EMT progress in Ishikawa cells. h Immunohistochemistry of EMT markers in 60 EuEM and EcEM tissues. Original magnification: ×400. Scale bars represent 50 μm. i Western blot analysis of EMT markers in 60 EuEM and EcEM tissues. Assays were performed in triplicate. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001 represent statistical difference.
