| Description: |
circ_0008035 (from host gene EXT1) is up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines and promotes malignant phenotypes (proliferation, cell-cycle progression, migration/invasion, angiogenesis) while inhibiting apoptosis. Mechanistically, it sponges miR-429 to increase SMAD2 expression, and circ_0008035 knockdown suppresses xenograft tumor growth. |
