Figure Lengend Snippet: Circ_0064288 functions as ceRNA and sponges miR-335-5p. A . Bioinformatics databases (StarBase and Circular RNA Interactome) were used to predict the binding site of circ_0064288 to miR-335-5p. B . qRT-PCR was employed to detect circ_0064288 expression in the cytoplasm and nucleus of Huh7 and Hep3B cells. C . Dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment showed that the predicted binding sequence between circ_0064288 and miR-335-5p was functional. D . qRT-PCR was employed to detect miR-335-5p expression in HCC tissues and paracancerous tissues. E . qRT-PCR was used to detect miR-335-5p expression in normal hepatic epithelial cell line (THLE-3) and HCC cell lines (Huh7, Hep3B, HCCLM3, and MHCC97-L). F . The correlation between circ_0064288 expression and miR-335-5p expression in HCC tissues was evaluated by Pearson’s correlation coefficient. *** P < 0.001, ns, means no statistical significance. *** P < 0.001, ns, means no statistical significance
Article Snippet: Human HCC cell lines (Huh7, Hep3B, HCCLM3, and MHCC97-L) and human normal liver epithelial cell line (THLE-3) were procured from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and Shanghai Cell Bank of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, China).
