| Description: |
circ-ACACA is up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines and is associated with advanced stage, metastasis, and poorer overall survival. Functionally, circ-ACACA promotes proliferation, migration and glycolysis and tumor growth by sponging miR-1183, leading to activation of the PI3K/PKB (AKT) pathway (with PTEN up and p-PI3K/p-PKB down upon circ-ACACA knockdown). |
