Fig. 5. Increases in proliferation, invasion, and migration mediated by CircCYP24A1 overexpression were abrogated in RCC cells transfected with the miR-421 mimic or sh-CMTM4.

The levels of N-cadherin (EMT signaling pathway), p-ERK (MEK/ERK pathway), and p-AKT (AKT/mTOR pathway) were evaluated using Western blotting, and the relative proliferation rate of cells was measured in 786-O (A) and A498 (B) cells transfected with LV-NC, LV-circCYP24A1, LV-cirCYP24A1+miR-421 mimic and LV-circCYP24A1+sh-CMTM4. Colony-formation assay (C, D), Transwell invasion assay (E, F) and wound-healing assay (G, H) were performed and quantitatively analyzed in 786-O and A498 cells transfected with LV-NC, LV-circCYP24A1, LV-cirCYP24A1 plus miR-421 mimic, and LV-circCYP24A1 plus sh-CMTM4. Data are presented as means ± SD. ***p < 0.001. The bar corresponds to 300 μm in the wound-healing assay.
