HCP5 bound to miR-93-5p. A The distribution of HCP5 in the cytoplasm or nucleus was examined using QPCR. B The binding site between HCP5 and miR-93-5p. C The availability of miR-93-5p mimic was checked using QPCR. The relationship between HCP5 and miR-93-5p was verified by (D) dual-luciferase reporter assay, (E) pull-down assay and (F) RIP assay. G The expression of miR-93-5p in HGMCs transfected with si-HCP5 or si-NC was detected by QPCR. ***P < 0.001
