Our study identifies a new circular RNA, termed circ-PTPDC1 that is up-regulated in tumor tissues, cells and plasma of GC patients, and can act as a sponge of miR-139-3p to regulate the expression of ELK1. Our findings suggest that circ-PTPDC1 may be a novel potential circulating biomarker for the detection of GC.
Circ-PTPDC1 promotes the Progression of Gastric Cancer through Sponging Mir-139-3p by Regulating ELK1 and Functions as a Prognostic Biomarker.
