Circ_0001776 overexpression inhibited EC progression by sponging miR-182. a, b RT-qPCR was used to measure miR-182 expression in RL95-2 and Ishikawa cells transfected with miR-NC or miR-142. c, d Cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay after transfection. e, f Cell colony formation assay was used to detect the number of colonies after transfection in EC cells. g, h Flow cytometry was performed to examine cell apoptosis in RL95-2 and Ishikawa cells after transfection. i, j ECAR was determined in EC cells after transfection. k, l The lactic acid level was measured in EC cells after transfection. **P < 0.01
