CircRNA_102171 silencing inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis. a According to CCK8 assay, circRNA_102171 depletion inhibited PTC cell proliferation. b CircRNA_102171 silencing decreased colony number. c Decreased rate of EdU positive PTC cells after circRNA_102171 knockdown. d CircRNA_102171 knockdown increased apoptotic PTC cells. Si-NC: siRNA negative control. si-circ: siRNA targeting circRNA_102171. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001
