KCNQ1OT1 acted as a molecular sponge for miR-296-5p and negatively regulated miR-296-5p expression. (a) Bioinformatics analysis predicted the potential binding sites of miR-296-5p in KCNQ1OT1 sequence. (b) RT-qPCR validated overexpression efficacy in SiHa cells after transfection with miR-296-5p mimic. (c) Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the binding relationship between KCNQ1OT1 and miR-296-5p. (d) RT-qPCR for determination of miR-296-5p level in SiHa cells after transfection with sh-KCNQ1OT1-1
