Circular RNA circ_0000285 is differentially expressed in several malignancies; however, its role in gliomas is under investigation. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction was conducted to evaluate the expression of circ_0000285, miR-197-3p, and CDC28 protein kinase regulatory subunit 1B (CKS1B) in glioma tissues and cells. Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell invasion assays coupled with Western blotting analysis using anti-Bax and anti-Bcl-2 antibodies were performed to evaluate cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis. Luciferase reporter and AGO2...
