| Description: |
hsa_circ_0008583 is up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and cell lines. Functionally, it promotes HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion and inhibits apoptosis, and its depletion suppresses xenograft tumor growth. Mechanistically, it acts as a ceRNA by sponging miR-1301-3p to relieve repression of METTL3 (hsa_circ_0008583/miR-1301-3p/METTL3 axis). |
