MiR-145 affected the circular RNA expression in prostate cancer LNCaP cells.

Recent evidence has demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) played crucial roles in fine-tuning the levels of gene expression by sequestering the corresponding microRNA (miRNAs). Their interaction with disease-associated miRNAs indicates that circRNAs are important for the development of disease, and miR-145 has been previously shown to have antitumor effect in prostate cancer. In the current study, we successfully established the miR-145-overexpressed prostate cancer LNCaP cells (LNCaP-miR-145) using lentiviral vectors.
