Figure Lengend Snippet: Silencing circGDI2 inhibits proliferation and glycolysis and PKM2 expression through IGF2BP2 in HCC cells. (A) Western blot was used to analyze IGF2BP2 expression in Li-7 and Huh-7 cell lines after circGDI2 knockdown. (B) The expression level of IGF2BP2 was examined in clinical HCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues using RT-qPCR. To clarify if circGDI2 regulated HCC cell proliferation and glycolysis through IGF2BP2, sh-circGDI2 and OE-IGF2BP2 were co-transfected into Li-7 and Huh-7 cells. (C) Western blot was used to assess the effect of IGF2BP2 on the expression of PKM2. (D) CCK-8 assay was used to assess cell proliferation. (E) Glucose consumption level and lactate production were detected using the Glucose Assay Kit with O-toluidine and Lactate Assay Kit. ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001, vs. the sh-NC group, or the Adjacent group. # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001, vs. the sh-circGDI2+OE-NC group.
