cZNF609 acted as an endogenous miR-615 sponge to sequester and inhibit miR-615 activity, which led to increased METRN. METRN overexpression could partially rescue cZNF609 silencing-mediated inhibitory effects on retinal glial cell proliferation.
Circular RNA-ZNF609 regulates retinal neurodegeneration by acting as miR-615 sponge.
