Description:

hsa_circ_0091579 (circ_0091579) is up-regulated in HCC tissues and cell lines and functions as an oncogenic circRNA. Its knockdown suppresses proliferation/colony formation, migration/invasion, induces G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis, and reduces xenograft tumor growth by acting as a ceRNA that sponges miR-940 to upregulate TACR1.

Confidence score:

0.7421
