Fig. 5. Knockdown of miR-296-3p reverses the sh-circRUNX1-induced antitumor effects in PTC cells.

Fig. 5

a PTC cell lines were cotransfected with stable sh-NC and inhibitor-NC or sh-circRUNX1 and inhibitor-NC or sh-circRUNX1 and miR-296-3p inhibitor. The migration and invasion potential was evaluated by Transwell migration and Matrigel invasion assays. Scale bars = 100 μm. b Representative images showing the reversion of the migration ability upon miR-296-3p downregulation by wound-healing assay. c Colony formation assay exhibiting changes in the proliferation capacity of stable sh-circRUNX1 or sh-NC PTC cells transfected with or without the miR-296-3p inhibitor. d The CCK-8 assay revealed that the effect of circRUNX1 knockdown on cell growth was abrogated by miR-296-3p downregulation. Data represent the mean ± SD from three independent experiments (ad) (*P < 0.05 by Student’s t-test).
