This study showed that circ_0040823 inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis of AML cells by sponging miR-516b, thereby diminishing the regulatory effect of miR-516b on PTEN. These findings identified circ_0040823/miR-516b/PTEN as a new therapeutic target for AML.
Circular RNA circ_0040823 inhibits the proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia cells and induces apoptosis by regulating miR-516b/PTEN.
