After amplification, circ-FKBP5 and RUNX2 sequences were cloned into pmirGLO plasmids (Promega) to gain circ-FKBp5-wild-type (WT) and RUNX2-WT. A fragment covering the mutant target region was designed and cloned into pmirGLO to gain circ-FKBP5-mutant-type (MUT) and RUNX2-MUT. Subsequently, co-transfection of miR-205-5p mimic or mimic NC with circ-FKBP5-MUT or RUNX2-WT or their respective MUT plasmids was done into BMSCs using Lipofectamine 2000. The relative luciferase activity was analyzed after transfection of 48 h in the luciferase reporter gene assay system (Promega) [26 (link)].
