WISP1 was targeted by miR-195-5p. (a) TargetScan predicted the binding site between miR-195-5p and WISP1. (b) Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay determined WISP1 was targeted by miR-195-5p. (c) WISP1 was upregulated in CRC tissues. (d) Correlation analysis between AFAP1-AS1 and WISP1 expression in CRC tissues. (e) miR-195-5p expression was negatively correlated with WISP1 expression in CRC tissues. (f) Effects of AFAP1-AS1 and miR-195-5p on WISP1 protein expression. ∗∗P < 0.01 and ∗∗∗∗P < 0.0001, compared with the adjacent or miR-NC group.
