Potential biomarker in tissue and plasma for HCC (up-regulated in both).
hsa_circ_0089172 is up-regulated in HCC tissue and plasma and was experimentally validated as a circular, RNase R-resistant transcript that can be excreted into hepatoma-cell culture medium. It is proposed to act as a ceRNA by interacting with hsa-miR-4524a-3p to influence cell-cycle/DNA-replication hub genes (e.g., CDC7, CCNB1, CENPU, ASPM, ECT2, NDC80).
