Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of circRNF20 knockdown on RB cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion. (a) The expression of circRNF20 in Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells transfected with sh-NC, sh-circRNF20#1, sh-circRNF20#2 and sh-circRNF20#3 was detected by qRT-PCR assay. (b–h) Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were transfected with sh-NC or sh-circRNF20#1. (b–d) The viability, proliferation and colony formation of Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were assessed by CCK-8 assay, EDU assay and colony formation assay. (e) The apoptosis of Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry analysis. (f and g) The migration and invasion of Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were evaluated by wound-healing assay and transwell assay, respectively. (h) The protein levels of PCNA, cleaved-caspase 3, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin in Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were measured through western blot assay. *** P < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: miR-132-3p overexpression inhibited RB cell progression. Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were transfected with miR-NC or miR-132-3p. (a–c) The viability, proliferation and colony formation of Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were evaluated by CCK-8 assay, EDU assay and colony formation assay. (d) The apoptosis of Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells was estimated by flow cytometry analysis. (e and f) The migration and invasion of Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were assessed by wound-healing assay and transwell assay. (g) The protein levels of PCNA, cleaved-caspase 3, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin in Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were measured via western blot assay. *** P < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: circRNF20 regulated RB cell malignant behaviors by miR-132-3p and PAX6. Sh-NC, sh-circRNF20#1, sh-circRNF20#1 + anti-NC, sh-circRNF20#1 + anti-miR-132-3p, sh-circRNF20#1 + vector or sh-circRNF20#1 + PAX6 was transfected into Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells. (a) The protein level of PAX6 in Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells was examined by qRT-PCR assay. (b–d) The viability, proliferation and colony formation of Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were tested by CCK-8 assay, EDU assay and colony formation assay. (e) The apoptosis of Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry analysis. (f and g) The migration and invasion of Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were assessed by wound-healing assay and transwell assay. (h) The protein levels of PCNA, cleaved-caspase 3, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin in Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were measured by western blot assay. *** P < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of circRNF20 derived from RB patients’ serums on RB cell growth, apoptosis and metastasis. (a) The morphology of exosomes was analyzed by TEM. (b) The protein levels of HSP70 and TSG101 were measured by western blot assay. (c) The level of circRNF20 in the exosomes derived from the serums of RB patients and normal controls was detected by qRT-PCR assay. (d) The expression of circRNF20 in Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells incubated with RB patients serums’ isolated exosomes was detected by qRT-PCR assay. (e–j) After Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 cells were incubated with the exosomes derived from RB patient serums, cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were analyzed.
