Fig. 2. CircTIAM1 affects the migration, proliferation, and apoptosis of PTC cells.

Fig. 2

A TPC-1 and B-CPAP cells were transfected with circTIAM1 short hairpin RNAs or overexpression plasmid, and the expression levels of circTIAM1 and TIAM1 mRNA were measured by RT-qPCR and normalized to GADPH level. B The effect of circTIAM1 downregulation or overexpression on cell migration was evaluated by the Transwell migration assay in PTC cells. Scale bar = 100 μm. C The wound-healing assay was conducted to evaluate the migration abilities of TPC cells transfected with sh-circTIAM1/ex-circTIAM1 plasmid or vector. D Representative images of PTC cells transfected with sh-circTIAM1 or ex-circTIAM1 in colony formation assay. E Cell proliferation rate was significantly suppressed in PTC cells with circTIAM1 knockdown, while it was increased with circTIAM1 overexpression. F PTC cells were transfected with sh-circTIAM1, and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining was conducted to show the percentage of apoptotic cells. Data represent the mean ± SD. Three independent assays were performed (AF) (*p < 0.05; Student’s t-test).
