circ_0008285 Regulates Glioma Progression via the miR-384/HMGB1 Axis

Figure 4

circ_0008285 promotes the malignant phenotype of glioma cells through miR-384/HMGB1 axis. (a) qRT-PCR showed the downregulation of miR-384 upon the transfection of miR-384 inhibitor. (b–f) U251 and U87 cells were transfected with si-NC, si-circ_0008285, and si-circ_0008285 + miR-384 inhibitor. (b) Western blot analysis of HMGB1 protein level in each experimental group. (c) CCK-8 experiment of cell proliferation capacity in each experimental group. (d) Colony formation assay in above experimental groups. (e) Flow cytometry analysis of apoptosis in above experimental groups. (f) Flow cytometry analysis of cell cycle distribution in above experimental groups. **. *** versus si-NC. ##. ### versus si-circ_0008285.
