Fig. 3: MiR-7682-3p was direct target of circRNA_37492.

A CircRNA_37492 contained the complementary binding region sequence of miR-7682-3p. B After co-transfection with vector of circRNA_37492-WT or circRNA_37492-MT and miR-7682-3p mimic or scramble, the luciferase activities were detected. C The co-localization of circRNA_37492 and miR-7682-3p in BUMPT cells treated with TGF-β1. Scale bar, 10 μm. D The co-localization of circRNA_37492 and miR-7682-3p in kidney tissue of C57BL/6 mice subjected to UUO. Scale bar, 50μm. Quantitative data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 6 per group). *p < 0.05, circRNA_37492 WT with miR-7682-3p vs. other groups. MT, mutant type; WT, wild type.
