High hsa_circ_0065217 expression is linked to advanced TNM stages, larger tumor size, and lymph-node metastasis, and it is proposed as a potential therapeutic target for RCC.
hsa_circ_0065217 is up-regulated in RCC tissues and cell lines and is associated with advanced TNM stage, lymph-node metastasis, and larger tumor size. Functionally, it promotes RCC cell proliferation, colony formation, invasion, and metastatic phenotypes. Mechanistically, cytoplasmic hsa_circ_0065217 acts as a ceRNA for miR-214-3p to increase ALPK2 expression, forming a hsa_circ_0065217/miR-214-3p/ALPK2 axis that promotes malignant progression.
