The present data suggested that the upregulation of circ_0001789 was associated with the progression of GC and with poor prognosis in patients with GC, and that miR-140-3p/PAK2 served as the downstream axis to mediate the oncogenic effect of circ_0001789.
Circular RNA 0001789 sponges miR-140-3p and regulates PAK2 to promote the progression of gastric cancer.
