Circular RNA EIF6 (Hsa_circ_0060060) sponges miR-144-3p to promote the cisplatin-resistance of human thyroid carcinoma cells by autophagy regulation
Figure 6. Overexpression of circEIF6 inhibited apoptosis in the TPC1 and BHT101 cells with cisplatin treatment. (A) MTT assay displayed that in the TPC1 and BHT101 cells with cisplatin treatment, the cell viability in siCirc-1 or siCirc-2 group was significantly inhibited by cisplatin treatment, but was remarkably enhanced by circEIF6 overexpression; miR-144-3p could reverse the function of circEIF6. Cells in control were normalized as 100%. *P < 0.05 compared with the NC group. (B) Flow cytometric detected Annexin V staining cells ratio which reflecting the percent of apoptosis cells; less apoptotic cells in circEIF6 overexpression group but more apoptotic cells in circEIF6 knockdown group were observed in the TPC1 and BHT101 cells with cisplatin treatment. *P < 0.05 compared with the NC group.
