Fig. 4From: Circular RNA ciRS-7 affects the propagation of Cryptosporidium parvum in HCT-8 cells by sponging miR-1270 to activate the NF-κB signaling pathwayCiRS-7 promoting relA expression in C. parvum-infecting HCT-8 cells via sponging miR-1270. a, b mRNA (a) and protein (b) levels of relA in HCT-8 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1( +)-ciRS-7 plasmid or si-ciRS-7 and exposed to C. parvum infection for 24 h. c The mRNA levels of relA in HCT-8 cells co-transfected with pcDNA3.1( +)-ciRS-7 plasmid and miR-1270 mimics and exposed to C. parvum infection for 24 h. The data represent the mean ± SD for three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001Back to article page
