circ_0129047 overexpression delays in vitro and in vivo HCC growth. Overexpression of circ_0129047 (OE-circ) and empty vectors (OE-NC) was induced in Hep 3B and Huh7 cells. (a) RT-qPCR was verifying the exogenous expression of circ_0129047 in Hep 3B and Huh7 cells. (b) CCK8 assays examining the proliferation of Hep 3B and Huh7 cells transfected with OE-circ and OE-NC. (c) Scratch migration assay for examining HCC cell migration. (d) HCC cell invasion ability was detected using a transwell invasion assay. (e) Hep 3B cells overexpressing circ_0129047 or NC were introduced into nude mice through subcutaneous flank injection. Tumor volumes were recorded every 7 days, and xenograft tumors were excised and weighed at 5 weeks. The xenograft tumors were photographed, measured, and weighed. , vs. OE-NC.
