Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 6 | Overexpression of COL5A1 rescues the functional depletion caused by silencing circSNHG5. (A) The effect of CITED2 overexpression on miR-495-3p knockdown-mediated cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). (B,C) CITED2, MMP13, Collagen II, and Aggrecan expression levels were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. The presented values are the means ± SD of three different preparations (***P < 0.001). (D) The effect of CITED2 overexpression on circSNHG5 knockdown-mediated cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). (E,F) CITED2, MMP13, Collagen II, and Aggrecan expression levels were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. The presented values are the means ± SD of three different preparations (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001).
