| Description: |
circ-PVT1 is upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines and in cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP cells. Functionally, circ-PVT1 promotes proliferation, migration and invasion, and increases cisplatin resistance by inhibiting DDP-induced apoptosis. Mechanistically, circ-PVT1 acts as a ceRNA to sponge miR-429, thereby upregulating FOXK1 and driving the circ-PVT1/miR-429/FOXK1 axis. |
