CircPPP1CB inhibits proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, and invasion of bladder cancer cells. (A) CircPPP1CB was significantly upregulated in circPPP1CB-overexpressing T24 and EJ cells. (B) CCK-8 assays indicated that CircPPP1CB reduced cell proliferation rate in bladder cancer cells. (C) Colony formation was evaluated by colony formation assay in negative control or circPPPC1B-overexpressing cells. (D) Tube formation assay was conducted in HUVECs with different conditional medium. Scale bars, 400 μm. (E,F) Transwell migration, invasion assay, and cell scratch assay indicated the biological effects of circPPP1CB in T24 and EJ cells. Scale bars, 200 and 400 μm, respectively. (G) EMT markers (fibronectin, N-cadherin, E-cadherin, and vimentin) and MMP2 were detected by western blotting in different T24 and EJ cells. (H) Immunofluorescence analysis of vimentin in circPPP1CB-overexpressing cells and negative control cells. Scale bars, 200 μm. **p < 0.01 vs. control group.
