circPVT1 is generally upregulated in pediatric BCP-ALL (qRT-PCR in PDX samples). The paper mainly contextualizes this finding with prior literature describing oncogenic, miRNA-sponge-based mechanisms (e.g., miR-125/let-7 and Bcl-2/c-Myc regulation), but does not experimentally test these mechanisms in this cohort.
