Fig. 5: CircETFA upregulates CCL5 to affect PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

A GO analysis of the RNA-seq results. B Statistical results of the functional COG. C Heat maps were generated to show the FPKM values of the 50 most changed mRNAs converted by log10. D Relationship between circETFA expression and mRNAs levels in HCC tissues. E Detect changes in CCL5 expression by qRT-PCR after overexpression or knockdown of circETFA. F The protein levels of CCL5, Akt, p-Akt, FoxO6, CyclinD1, and MMP7 were measured by western blotting. The data are shown as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
