Taken together, our findings suggest that circ_0073453/miR-146a-5p/IL-8 axis is critical for GC-MSCs promoting gastric cancer progression. Hence, hsa_circ_0073453 may be a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
Hsa_circ_0073453 modulates IL-8 secretion by GC-MSCs to promote gastric cancer progression by sponging miR-146a-5p.
