High circ_0004104 expression was associated with TNM stages, lymph metastasis, tumor size, and poor prognosis; circ_0004104 might be a potential therapeutic target for GC.
circ_0004104 is up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines, and high expression is associated with advanced clinical features and poor prognosis. Functionally, circ_0004104 promotes proliferation, migration, invasion, glutaminolysis, and in vivo tumor growth. Mechanistically, it sponges miR-539-3p to positively regulate RNF2 expression, forming a circ_0004104/miR-539-3p/RNF2 axis.
