Fig. 2. Characteristics of circ_0006156 in PCa cells.
A Genomic locus of circ_0006156. The expression of circ_0006156 was detected by qRT–PCR followed by Sanger sequencing. Arrows represent divergent primers binding to the back-splicing site of circ_0006156. B qRT–PCR analysis of the expression of circ_0006156 and FNDC3B mRNA after treatment with RNase R in PCa cells. C qRT–PCR analysis of the expression of circ_0006156 and FNDC3B mRNA after treatment with actinomycin D at the indicated time points in PCa cells. D qRT–PCR products with divergent primers showing circularization of circ_0006156 in PCa cells. cDNA, complementary DNA. gDNA, genomic DNA. E Cytoplasmic and nuclear mRNA fractionation experiments showed that circ_0006156 localized in both the nucleus and cytoplasm in DU145 cells. ACTB and U6 were applied as positive controls in the cytoplasm and nucleus, respectively. F RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization for circ_0006156 in DU145 cells. Nuclei were stained with DAPI.
