Silencing circSLC19A1 expression inhibited viability and proliferation in PCa cells by regulating miR-326/MAPK1 axis. (A) MAPK1 expression in DU145 and PC3 cells transfected with miR-326 inhibitor, sicircSLC19A1, siMAPK1 or miR-326 inhibitor plus sicircSLC19A1 was assessed by qRT-PCR, with GAPDH serving as a reference gene. (B) The viability of DU145 and PC3 cells transfected with miR-326 inhibitor, sicircSLC19A1, siMAPK1 or miR-326 inhibitor plus sicircSLC19A1 was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. (C) Representative photos of the colony formation of DU145 and PC3 cells transfected with miR-326 inhibitor, sicircSLC19A1, siMAPK1 or miR-326 inhibitor plus sicircSLC19A1. (D) The colony formation of DU145 and PC3 cells transfected with miR-326 inhibitor, sicircSLC19A1, siMAPK1 or miR-326 inhibitor plus sicircSLC19A1 was evaluated by cell colony formation assay. ***P<0.001 vs siNC+IC; ^^^P<0.001 vs siNC+I; ###P<0.001 vs sicirc+IC; ΔΔΔP<0.001 vs sicirc+I.
