we revealed that circ_0001459 could sponge miR-6165 and induce the upregulation of its downstream target IGF1R, thus significantly promoting the progression of HCC. Therefore, circ_0001459 could be a new potential therapeutic target for HCC patients.
Circular RNA circ_0001459 accelerates hepatocellular carcinoma progression via the miR-6165/IGF1R axis.
