CircEXOC6B functions as a ceRNA of miR-421 in ovarian cancer. (A) The 3ʹ‐UTR of circEXOC6B harbors miR-421 cognate sites. (B) The level of miR-421 in SKOV3 cells transfected with miR-421 agonist or miR-421 antagonist was detected by qRT-PCR. (C) Relative luciferase activity of reporter plasmids carrying WT or MT circEXOC6B 3ʹ‐UTR in SKOV3 cells following co‐transfecting with miR-421 were measured using dual-luciferase reporter assay. (D) Co-localization between circEXOC6B (red) and miR-421 (green) was observed (arrowheads) by FISH in SKOV3 cells. **P < 0.01, compared with the NC group.
