Circ-PITX1 enhanced ITGA6’s expression. (a) The GEPIA (http://gepia.cancer-pku.cn/detail.php) database determined ITGA6’s expression in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). b–c. The Human Protein atlas (http://gepia.cancer-pku.cn/detail.php) confirmed ITGA6 expression in normal lung tissues or lung cancer tissues. A higher level of ITGA6 intricately pertained to the poorer overall survival of lung cancer patients. D-F. RT-PCR and Western blot measured the mRNA and protein levels of ITGA6, p-PI3K and p-Akt in NSCLC cells up-regulating circ-PITX1 or down-regulating circ-PITX1. G: IHC testified ITGA6 expression in tumor tissues. **P < 0.01 (vs.Vector group). &&P < 0.01, &&&P < 0.001 (vs.si-NC group), n = 3.
