Knockdown circPCLE1 refrained CRC proliferation, glucose consumption, lactic acid and pyruvate production, M2 macrophage markers (IL-10, MRC1), N-cadherin, Snail, reduced the proportion of CD206+ and CD168+ macrophages, but expedited M1 macrophage markers (TNF-α, IL-6) and E-cadherin, while descending miR-485-5p expedited EMT, glycolysis in CRC and TAM M2 polarization . The gene discussed is CDH1; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
