circCYP24A1 exhibits higher expression in ESCC tissue and its high level indicates poor prognosis. a The representation pictures of circCYP24A1 expression in 114 ESCC tissues and 66 corresponding adjacent tissues by RNA FISH analysis based on tissue microarray. b The percentage of circCYP24A1 expression in 114 ESCC tissues and 66 corresponding adjacent tissues. c The correlation between low circCYP24A1 expression and poor patient survival detected by Kaplan–Meier survival analysis. d The percentage of T stage in 30 case of ESCC tissues with circCYP24A1 low expression and 84 case of ESCC tissues with circCYP24A1 high expression. e The percentage of lymph node metastasis in 30 case of ESCC tissues with circCYP24A1 low expression and 84 case of ESCC tissues with circCYP24A1 high expression. f The percentage of clinical stage in 30 case of ESCC tissues with circCYP24A1 low expression and 84 case of ESCC tissues with circCYP24A1 high expression. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001

circCYP24A1 interacts with PKM2 and promotes NF-κB pathway-mediated CCL5 secretion in vitro. a Binding of CYP24A1 with PKM2 was idntified by RNA pull-down-western blot analysis. b The co-localization of circCYP24A1 (red) with PKM2 (green) in KYSE30 and TE1 cells was idntified by RNA FISH-immunofluorescence. c Protein levels in ESCC cells with circCYP24A1 overexpression or PKM2 knockdown. d mRNA and protein levels of CCL5 in ESCC cells with circCYP24A1 overexpression or PKM2 knockdown. e The proliferation ability of ESCC cells with circCYP24A1 overexpression or PKM2 knockdown was detected by CCK-8 assays. f The migration and invasion abilities of ESCC cells with circCYP24A1 overexpression or PKM2 knockdown were detected by transwell migration and matrigel invasion assay. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
