| Description: |
circEIF6 is up-regulated in thyroid cancer tissues and cell lines and correlates with advanced clinicopathological features including TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and tumor size. Functionally, circEIF6 promotes TPC-1 cell proliferation, invasion, EMT-related marker changes, and xenograft tumor growth. Mechanistically, circEIF6 acts as a ceRNA that sponges miR-138-5p to increase LIPH expression. |
