[Retracted] CircKMT2E Participates in Osteoarthritis through Promotes Apoptosis of Chondrocytes Via Sponging miR-140-5p to Activate TLR4

Figure 2

CircKMT2E was highly expressed in chondrocytes with OA and can bind to miR-140-5p. (a) PCR results of circKMT2E in the chondrocytes with OA. (, ). (b) On the basis of the relative expression, the connection between circKMT2E and miR-140-5p probed by FPKM analysis disclosed a negative correlation. (). (c) CircKMT2E was situated between the second and fourth exons in its host gene. (d) Confirmation of miR-140-3p in the control and OA groups by PCR.
