A qRT-PCR for expression of circAFAP1 revealed that all the three siRNAs can reduce the expression in 786-O and A498 cells, while si-circAFAP1-3 displayed the most powerful silencing efficiency. ***represents p < 0.001. **represents p < 0.01. B, C CCK8 proliferation assays (B) and colony formation assays (C) displayed that the 786-O and A498 cells transfected with si-circAFAP1 have abrogated cell proliferation ability. ***represents p < 0.001. D Transwell assays were applied to discover the invasion ability after si-circAFAP1 transfection in 786-O and A498 cells. E Wound healing was applied to discover the migration ability after si-circAFAP1 transfection in 786-O and A498 cells. F Tube formation assay was applied to further validate the vascular promotion ability after adding the supernatant of si-circAFAP1 transfection of 786-O and A498 cells in HUVEC cells. G EdU assays were applied to further verify si-circAFAP1 inhibited the proliferation ability of 786-O and A498 cells.
