doi: 10.1016/j.jare.2025.04.033
Figure Lengend Snippet: CircATM binding to PARP1 inhibits Wnt/β-catenin signaling. (A) Western blotting was used to detect β-catenin levels after PARP1 immunoprecipitation in HEK293T cells transfected with vector pLC5-ciR and pLC5-circATM plasmids. (B) Western blotting analysis of circATM binding to β-catenin in the circRNA pull-down assay. (C) Western blotting analysis of PARP1 levels in HEK293T cells transfected with vector pLC5-ciR and pLC5-circATM plasmids after β-catenin immunoprecipitation. (D) TOPflash and FOPflash reporter assays were carried out to measure the transcriptional activity of TCF/β-catenin in AGS cells. (E) Wnt/β-catenin targets were detected by RT-qPCR after circATM siRNA transfection of AGS cells. (F) Wnt/β-catenin targets were detected by western blotting after circATM siRNA transfection of AGS cells. (G) The effect of circATM overexpression on Wnt/β-catenin targets in AGS cells transfected with si_circATM. * p <0.05, ** p <0.01, *** p <0.001.
