High circ_001569 expression is correlated with larger tumor size, advanced TNM stages and poor prognosis, and circ_001569 was identified as an independent prognostic predictor for HCC patients.
circ_001569 is up-regulated in HCC tissues and cell lines, and its high expression is associated with larger tumor size, advanced TNM stage and poor postoperative prognosis. Functionally, it promotes HCC cell growth, migration, invasion, tumor formation and lung metastasis. Mechanistically, circ_001569 acts as a sponge for miR-411-5p and miR-432-5p, and its oncogenic activity is partially dependent on regulation of these miRNAs.

Overexpression of circular RNA circ_001569 indicates poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma and promotes cell growth and metastasis by sponging miR-411-5p and miR-432-5p.
