Circ-PITX1 sponged miR-30e-5p to modulate NSCLC cell proliferation and metastasis. a and b. H1975 cells were transfected together with miR-30e-5p mimics and/or circ-PITX1 overexpression plasmid. RT-PCR confirmed the levels of circ-PITX1 (a) and miR-30e-5p (b). (c). Western blot checked ITGA6, p-PI3K and p-Akt expression. d and e. CCK-8 (d) and colony formation assay (e) monitored cell proliferation. (f) TUNEL staining was adopted to examine the TUNEL-positive cell number. (g) WB determined the profiles of Bax, Bcl-2 and c-Caspase3. (h) Tranwell assay tracked cell migration and invasion. (i) Western blot determined the protein levels of EMT markers (E-cadherin, Vimentin, and N-cadherin). **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (vs.Vector group), && P < 0.01, &&&P < 0.001 (vs.circ-PITX1 group), n = 3.
