[Retracted] circ_0041795 Induces YAP1 Upregulation to Accelerate the Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy through Binding to miR-589-5p

Figure 2

circ_0041795 combined with miR-589-5p. (a) The levels of miR-574-5p, miR-593, and miR-589-5p were tested using RT-qPCR after transfection of si-NC or si-circ_0041795. (b) The binding site between circ_0041795 and miR-589-5p in CircInteractome. (c) The miR-589-5p expression analysis was performed using RT-qPCR in miR-NC or miR-589-5p-transfected ARPE-19 cells. (d) Dual-luciferase reporter assay and (e) pull-down assay were applied to confirm the interaction between miR-589-5p and circ_0041795. (f) RT-qPCR was used for miR-589-5p quantification in the NG and HG groups. Two-way ANOVA was used in (a) and (d), and Student’s -test was used in other graphs. and .
