Figure 11 The effect of hsa_circ_0072697 on the related molecules in AS-PBMC .
(A) RT-qPCR analysis of relative mRNA expression levels of hsa-miR-145-5p, MMP3, MMP9, IKB-α, and NF-κB p65 in AS-PBMCs overexpressing or knocking down hsa_circ_0072697.
(B) and (C) Western blot analysis showing protein levels of MMP3, MMP9, p-NF-κB/NF-κB, IKBα/p-IKBα in AS-PBMCs in which hsa_circ_0072697 was overexpressed or knocked down.
