| Description: |
circTMEM59 (hsa_circ_0012634), derived from TMEM59, is down-regulated in CRC tissues and cells. It functions as a tumor suppressor by sponging miR-410-3p to increase HOXD8 expression, thereby inhibiting CRC proliferation, migration, invasion, metastasis and xenograft tumor growth. Its reduced expression is associated with higher tumor stage, suggesting potential therapeutic relevance. |
