Figure Lengend Snippet: Depletion of circRNA Mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5 (circMAP3K5) attenuates cardiomyocyte apoptosis in a diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) cell model. A, quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction results show expression levels of circMAP3K5 in samples of DCM ( n = 3) and control ( n = 3) cells. B, Western blots showing expression levels of Bcl‐2, Bax, and cleaved caspase‐3 proteins in the samples. C, Flow cytometry results depict the rate of apoptosis. Statistically significant difference: * p < .05 ( n = 3). circRNA, circular RNA; HG, high glucose.
Article Snippet: These circRNAs were amplified and transcribed into fluorescent cRNA using a random primer method (Arraystar Super RNA Labeling Kit; Arraystar). labeled cRNAs that were hybridized to Arraystar Rat circRNA Array V2.0 (8 × 15 K) with a total of 14 145 circRNA probes on the chip.
