| Description: |
circ_0081143 is up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and cells and is further induced by hypoxia in GC cells. Functionally, circ_0081143 promotes hypoxia-induced migration, invasion, and EMT, while its knockdown suppresses these malignant behaviors. Mechanistically, circ_0081143 acts as a ceRNA for miR-497-5p to modulate EGFR expression, suggesting therapeutic potential in GC. |
