UP |
| Associated gene: |
KLF8, Ago2 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-1182 |
| Biological function: |
Promotes NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT and tumor growth, and inhibits apoptosis. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Circ_0067934 functions as a ceRNA by sponging miR-1182, regulating KLF8, and activating the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. |
| Biological pathway or process: |

| Clinical significance: |
Potential therapeutic target for NSCLC. |
| Description: |
Circ_0067934 is up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cells. It promotes NSCLC progression by acting as a ceRNA for miR-1182, thereby regulating KLF8 and activating the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Silencing circ_0067934 inhibits proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT and tumor growth, while inducing apoptosis. |
