circACTG1 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Regulating miR-940/RIF1 Axis and Activating AKT/mTOR Pathway

Figure 3

circACTG1 played as a miR-940 sponge in HCC. (a) circACTG1 may act as a miR-940 sponge as demonstrated by bioinformatics analysis predicted by circBase. (b) miR-940 mimic could markedly downregulate the luciferase activity of circACTG1. (c) circACTG1 knockdown significantly promoted the expression level of miR-940. (d) Expression of miR-940 in adjacent normal and tumor tissues. (e) Correlation of circACTG1 and miR-940 by Spearman’s correlation coefficient analysis.
