| Clinical significance: |
Downregulation of circ_006740 was related to pathological differentiation. |
| Description: |
circ_006740 (hsa_circ_0008309, from CUL3) is significantly down-regulated in OSCC tissues and OSCC cell lines. Its downregulation is associated with pathological differentiation, and it is bioinformatically predicted to bind miRNAs consistent with a miRNA-sponge role. |
