| Description: |
Circ_0001777 is down-regulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and cell lines, and low expression is associated with worse prognosis. Functionally, circ_0001777 acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting proliferation, migration, invasion, glycolysis and xenograft tumor growth while promoting apoptosis. Mechanistically, it sponges miR-942-5p to up-regulate PRICKLE2, forming a circ_0001777/miR-942-5p/PRICKLE2 regulatory axis; it can also be packaged into exosomes. |
