| Description: |
circ_0084188 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer tissues and cell lines, and high expression is associated with larger tumor size, advanced TNM stage, and poorer overall survival. Functionally, circ_0084188 promotes CRC proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT and xenograft tumor growth while suppressing apoptosis. Mechanistically, it sponges miR-769-5p to increase KIF20A expression, forming a circ_0084188/miR-769-5p/KIF20A regulatory axis. |
