The role of circ_NRIP1, miR-595 and SEMA4D in phosphatidylinositol-3-hydroxykinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway in ESCC cells. a, b Western blotting examined protein expression levels of PI3K, AKT and phosphorylated PI3K and AKT (called as p-PI3K and p-AKT) in KYSE30 and KYSE450 cells administrated with si-NC combined with miR-NC (simplified as NC), si-circ_NRIP1 alone or together with anti-miR-NC or anti-miR-595, miR-595 alone or together with pcDNA or SEMA4D. *P < 0.05
