Circular RNA circSEMA5A promotes bladder cancer progression by upregulating ENO1 and SEMA5A expression
Figure 1. circSEMA5A is upregulated in BC. (A) Diagram showed the circSEMA5A derived from exons 3 and 4 of SEMA5A gene. The back-splicing junction site of circSEMA5A was confirmed by PCR amplification and followed by Sanger sequencing. (B) The relative expression of circSEMA5A was detected by qRT-PCR in BC tissues and paired normal bladder tissues. (C) The relative expression of circSEMA5A was detected by qRT-PCR in BC cell lines and a normal human uroepithelial cell line. (D and E) The transfection efficiencies were verified by qRT-PCR when T24 cells were transfected with circSEMA5A overexpression plasmids and UM-UC-3 cells were transfected with circSEMA5A siRNAs. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05.
