In conclusion, we demonstrate that circDLG1 promotes the pathogenesis and progression of NSCLC by regulating the miR-144/AKT/mTOR signaling axis, providing potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for designing innovative treatment strategies.
Circular RNA circDLG1 (has_circ_0068706) functions as an oncogene in nonsmall cell lung cancer through regulating AKT/mTOR signaling and direct binding to miR-144.
