Circular RNA hsa_circ_0007142 Is Upregulated and Targets miR-103a-2-5p in Colorectal Cancer

Figure 5

MiR-103a-2-5p is a target of hsa_circ_0007142. (a) The binding site of miR-103a-2-5p for hsa_circ_0007142 was predicted by circRNA microarray. (b) miR-103a-2-5p expression was determined by RT-qPCR in HT-29 and HCT-116 cells transfected with si-circ_0007142 or si-NC. (c) PCR analysis of hsa_circ_0007142 and miR-103a-2-5p expression in CRC tissues (n=30) and paired pericancerous tissues (PT, n=30). (d) The correlation of the expression of miR-103a-2-5p and hsa_circ_0007142 in CRC tissues (n=30) and paired pericancerous tissues (n=30). (e) The luciferase activity in HT-29 cells cotransfected with the plasmids of wild-type hsa_circ_0007142 and miR-103a-2-5p mimics. (f) The luciferase activity in HT-29 cells cotransfected with plasmids of mutant hsa_circ_0007142 and miR-103a-2-5p mimics. P<0.05, P<0.01.
