The circHIPK3 facilitated NPC progression through protecting ELF3 from miR-4288-mediated silencing, which suggested that the circHIPK3-miR-4288-ELF3 regulatory loop might be a potential target for NPC prevention.
CircHIPK3 promotes proliferation and invasion in nasopharyngeal carcinoma by abrogating miR-4288-induced ELF3 inhibition.
