High circ_0000376 expression is linked to unfavorable pathological parameters, increased tumor T stage, and local lymph node infiltration, and may serve as a diagnostic biomarker and therapy target.
Circ_0000376 is up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines and is associated with unfavorable clinicopathological indicators. Functionally, it promotes proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT, metastasis, and cisplatin chemoresistance of NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, circ_0000376 binds to miR-384 and represses its expression, thereby contributing to malignant phenotypes in NSCLC.
