| Description: |
This study reports that hsa_circ_0079530 (circ_0079530), derived from Twist1, is up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and especially in radioresistant samples. Functionally, circ_0079530 promotes NSCLC cell proliferation, migration/invasion and tumor growth, and decreases radiosensitivity. Mechanistically, it sponges miR-409-3p to upregulate AQP4, forming a circ_0079530/miR-409-3p/AQP4 axis that drives malignancy and radioresistance. |
