Figure Lengend Snippet: CircRHOT1 regulates the expression of E2F3 by targeting miR‐125a‐3p in PANC‐1 cells. A, RT‐qPCR was used to measure the relative expression of miR‐125a‐3pin PANC‐1 cells after transfection. B, RT‐qPCR was used to measure the expression level of circRHOT1 in PANC‐1 cells after transfection. C, Dual‐luciferase reporter assays were used to test the putative complementary sites within circRHOT1 with miR‐125a‐3p. D, Predicted binding sites of miR‐125a‐3p in the E2F3 3ʹUTRby TargetScan. E, Dual‐luciferase reporter assays were used to test the putative complementary sites within miR‐125a‐3p and the E2F3 3ʹUTR. F and G, Relative expression of E2F3mRNA and protein in human pancreatic ductal cell line (HPDE) and PANC‐1 cells was measured by RT‐qPCR. H and I, RT‐qPCR and Western blotting were used to measure the expression level of E2F3in PANC‐1 cells after circRHOT1 knockdown. J and K, Relative expression of E2F3mRNA and protein measured by RT‐qPCR and Western blot after transfection. L and M, Relative E2F3mRNA and protein expression was measured by RT‐qPCR and Western blot after transfection. * P < .05, ** P < .01
