A Venn diagram of target miRNAs established by overlapping circBank and starbase databases. B Relative miR-124-3p and miR-605-3p expression of CD patients and NCs was quantified by qRT-PCR test. C The predicted secondary structures of miR-124. The predicted binding sites between circGMCL1 and miR-124-3p in human species based on starbase and circBank databases (D), and OECloud based on miRanda (E). F The predicted binding sites between circGMCL1 and miR-124-3p in murine species based on the starbase. The linear correlation between relative miR-124-3p expression and CRP (G), CDAI (H), SES-CD (I), and circGMCL1 expression (J) in CD patients (n = 75) as determined by qRT-PCR test. K FISH analyses of circGMCL1 and miR-124-3p in colon tissues from CD and NCs. The relative expression of circGMCL1 (L) and miR-124-3p (M) in isolated epithelial cells from CD and NCs.
