circPGC expression is lower in clinical patients with later stages of GC, which is associated with poor prognosis.
In gastric cancer, circPGC (hsa_circ_0076305) is down-regulated in tumors and decreases further in advanced stages. In AGS cells, circPGC overexpression suppresses proliferation but promotes migration/invasion and EMT-like changes, accompanied by increased MMP9/MMP14/Collagen I and reduced EGFR/PCNA/c-Myc/E-cadherin.
