Overexpressed circTTBK2 in NSCLC tissues indicates poor prognosis; circTTBK2 expression is positively associated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis, implying a potential therapeutic strategy for NSCLC treatment.
circTTBK2 is a human TTBK2-derived circRNA that is up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines, and high expression is associated with poorer prognosis, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. Functionally, circTTBK2 promotes NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and xenograft tumor growth. Mechanistically, cytoplasmic circTTBK2 sponges miR-873-5p to increase TEAD1, which transcriptionally activates DERL1, forming the circTTBK2/miR-873-5p/TEAD1/DERL1 oncogenic axis.
