Circ_0002984 enhances the viability and migration of VSMCs indicated with ox‐LDL. A, Expression level of circ_0002984 in VSMCs treated with RNase R. B, The level of circ_0002984 in VSMCs. Cells were transfected with si‐circ_0002984 or si‐NC for 24 h. C, The level of circ_0002984 in VSMCs. Cells were treated with 100 µg/L ox‐LDL or ox‐LDL +si‐circ_0002984 for 24 h. D, The viability of VSMCs was detected by CCK‐8. E, F, The cell cycle distribution was detected by flow cytometry assay in VSMCs. G, H, The migration of VSMCs was evaluated using Transwell assay. Five visual fields were randomly selected to calculate the number of cells. Compared with the control group, *P < 0.05
