Induction of circRSF1 promoted cell proliferation, and inhibited apoptosis and inflammatory of ox-LDL-treated HUVECs. a The expression of circRSF1 was measured in control, ox-LDL, ox-LDL + vector and ox-LDL + circRSF1 groups using qRT-PCR. b MTT assay was applied to measure cell proliferation in control, ox-LDL, ox-LDL + vector and ox-LDL + circRSF1 groups. c Flow cytomety was used to detect cell apoptosis in control, ox-LDL, ox-LDL + vector and ox-LDL + circRSF1 groups. d Western blot assay detected the protein expression of Bcl-2, Bax and cleaved-caspase-3 in control, ox-LDL, ox-LDL + vector and ox-LDL + circRSF1 groups. e–h ELISA was used to assess the level of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-8 in control, ox-LDL, ox-LDL + vector and ox-LDL + circRSF1 groups. i The protein expression of VCAM1, ICAM1 and E-selectin was detected in control, ox-LDL, ox-LDL + vector and ox-LDL + circRSF1 groups. ‘ + ’ was added, ‘−’ was blank *p < 0.05
