potential biomarker and therapeutic target for the management of PTC; could be a promising prognostic biomarker in PTC |
| Description: |
circRAPGEF5 is up-regulated in papillary thyroid cancer and promotes proliferation, migration/invasion and xenograft tumor growth. Mechanistically, it acts as a miRNA sponge for miR-198, thereby increasing FGFR1 expression via a circRAPGEF5/miR-198/FGFR1 ceRNA axis. |
