To summarize, our study firstly investigated the involvement of a novel METTL3/m6A/circ_KIAA1429/miR-133a-3p/HMGA2 axis in regulating HCC development, which provided novel indicators for HCC diagnosis, therapy and prognosis.
Circular RNA circ_KIAA1429 accelerates hepatocellular carcinoma progression via the miR-133a-3p/high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) axis in an m6A-dependent manner.
