PTEN expression was regulated by miR-570-3p and circ_0007444. (A) The fragments of PTEN-WT and PTEN-Mut were designed and synthesized. (B) Luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that PTEN was a target gene of miR-570-3p. (C) qRT-PCR exhibited that miR-570-3p inhibited PTEN expression and circ_0007444 promoted PTEN expression in OC cells. (D) In OC patients, PTEN expression was prominently decreased in tumor tissues than that in adjacent normal tissues. (E) Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between PTEN and circ_0007444 expression in tumor tissues of OC patients. (F) A negative correlation between PTEN and miR-570-3p expression was found in tumor tissues of OC patients according to Pearson’s correlation analysis. **P<0.01.
