High circBIRC6 expression was associated with depth of tumour invasion, TNM stage, and poor overall survival; circBIRC6 is proposed as a potential treatment target and independent prognostic factor for gastric cancer patients.
circBIRC6 is up-regulated in gastric cancer and predicts poor overall survival. It promotes proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumor growth by sponging miR-488, increasing GRIN2D and CAV1 expression, and inhibiting autophagy, making it a potential therapeutic target and independent prognostic factor.
