CircSNHG5 serves as a sponge for the miR-495-3p to inhibit its expression. (A) The expression of predicted miRNAs in chondrocytes after transfection with siRNA (*P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001). (B–D) qRT-PCR analysis confirmed the upregulated miRNAs in different CEP tissues of 21 patients and 21 control samples (***P < 0.001). (E) RNA FISH detection of the subcellular localizations of circSNHG5 and miR-495-3p. Both molecules were co-localized and both were cytoplasmic. miR-495-3p probes were labeled with Cy3, whereas circSNHG5 probes were tagged with Alexa fluor 488. Scale bar, 20 μm. (F) The binding region of miR-495-3p in circSNHG5 3′UTR is shown. (G) Luciferase reporter analysis of either wild-type or mutant circSNHG5 3′-UTR activity. miR-495-3p was co-transfected with the wild-type or mutant vector. The presented values are the mean ± SEM of three different preparations (**P < 0.01).
