High hsa_circ_0014130 expression is associated with lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, aggressive characteristics, and worse survival in bladder cancer patients.
hsa_circ_0014130 is up-regulated in bladder cancer tissues and cells, and high expression is associated with lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, and poor survival. Functionally, it promotes proliferation, migration, invasion, differentiation, EMT-related marker expression, and xenograft tumor growth. Mechanistically, it acts as a miR-132-3p sponge to upregulate KCNJ12 and is linked to activation of GSK3beta/AKT signaling.
