| Description: |
circHIPK3 is consistently down-regulated in osteosarcoma cell lines, tumor tissues and patient plasma. Functionally, circHIPK3 overexpression suppresses osteosarcoma cell proliferation/colony formation and inhibits migration and invasion, suggesting a tumor-suppressive role. Clinically, lower circHIPK3 is associated with advanced stage/lung metastasis and worse overall survival, and plasma circHIPK3 shows diagnostic potential by ROC analysis. |
