CircFOXM1 promotes viability, migration and invasion abilities of HCC cells via sponging miR-1179 to increase SPAG5 expression. (A) Viabilities of Huh7 and HepG2 cells after circFOXM1 silencing with/without miR-1179 inhibitor or SPAG5 overexpression determined by CCK-8 assay. (B) Viabilities of HCCLM3 and MHCC97-H cells after circFOXM1 overexpression with/without miR-1179 mimics or SPAG5 silencing determined by CCK-8 assay. (C) Migration capabilities of Huh7 and HepG2 cells after circFOXM1 silencing with/without miR-1179 inhibitor or SPAG5 overexpression determined by transwell assay without Matrigel. (D) Invasion capabilities of Huh7 and HepG2 cells after circFOXM1 silencing with/without miR-1179 inhibitor or SPAG5 overexpression determined by transwell assay with Matrigel. (E) Migration capabilities of HCCLM3 and MHCC97-H cells after circFOXM1 overexpression with/without miR-1179 mimics or SPAG5 silencing determined by transwell assay without Matrigel. (F) Invasion capabilities of HCCLM3 and MHCC97-H cells after circFOXM1 overexpression with/without miR-1179 mimics or SPAG5 silencing determined by transwell assay with Matrigel. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
