CircUSP36 regulates ROCK2 expression by targeting miR-20a-5p. HUVECs were transfected with si-circUSP36, si-NC, si-circUSP36 + miR-20a-5p inhibitor or si-circUSP36 + miR-NC inhibitor. (A and B) The expression of ROCK2 in these transfected cells was measured by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis (n=3). *P<0.05 vs. respective control. HUVECs, human umbilical vascular endothelial cells; ox-LDL, oxidized low-density lipoprotein.
