| Clinical significance: |
Targeting circHIPK3 might serve as a therapeutic strategy in RPE-EMT associated vitreoretinal diseases. |
| Description: |
circHIPK3 is up-regulated in a TGF-beta1-induced RPE-EMT in vitro model and promotes EMT and cell migration. It functions mainly in the cytoplasm by sponging multiple miRNAs (notably including miR-106b-5p), supporting a ceRNA-like mechanism to modulate RPE-EMT. |
