circSLC41A1 inhibits GCs apoptosis. (A) Expression of circSLC41A1 and its corresponding linear mRNA in GCs treated with siRNA control (NC) or si-circSLC41A1 RNA detected by qRT-PCR. (B) The apoptosis rate of GCs after circSLC41A1 knockdown examined by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining assay using flow cytometry at the top of panel B. (C) Protein levels of cleaved CASP3 after circSLC41A1 knockdown were analyzed by western blot. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of three experiments; * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001.
