A qRT-PCR revealed the influence of LiCl on circ_0026628 expression. Student’s t-test. B qRT-PCR verified the overexpression efficiency of SOX2 and the influence of upregulated SOX2 on SP1 and circ_0026628 expression. Student’s t-test. C qRT-PCR verified the knockdown efficiency of SOX2 and the influence of downregulated SOX2 on SP1 and circ_0026628 expression. One-way ANOVA. D JASPAR predicted the DNA-binding Motif of SOX2 and 2 binding sites of SOX2 on SP1 promoter. E ChIP assay revealed the enrichment of SP1 promoter in anti-SOX2 group relative to anti-IgG group. Student’s t-test. F Luciferase reporter assay unveiled the luciferase activity of reporters with wild-type or mutant SP1 promoter. Student’s t-test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. “n.s.” indicates no significance.
