Knocking down of circ_0005576 inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis of CRC cells. (A) qRT-PCR was performed to detect the transfection efficiency. Results indicated that circ_0005576 expression in SW620 and SW480 cells was obviously regulated by transfection. (B) CCK-8 assay showed that knockdown of circ_0005576 prominently inhibited CRC cells proliferation. (C) According to EdU experiment, knockdown of circ_0005576 significantly reduced EdU positive cells (red fluorescence). This indicated that knockdown of circ_0005576 obviously inhibited CRC cells proliferation. (D) Flow cytometry analysis revealed that knockdown of circ_0005576 markedly increased cells in G1 phase and decreased cells in S phase. (E) Flow cytometry analysis indicated that knockdown of circ_0005576 remarkably induced apoptosis of CRC cells. **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001.
