Suggested as diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for HCV induced HCC.
In HCV-induced HCC patient blood, circ-102,166 (hsa_circ_0004913) is significantly down-regulated. The work supports a tumor-suppressive ceRNA model where circ-102,166 sponges miR-182 to increase MTSS1 and FOXO3a, and proposes it as a diagnostic biomarker/therapeutic target.
