NSCLC patients with high expression of circ_0001944 had a worse prognosis
circ_0001944 is up-regulated in NSCLC and promotes malignant phenotypes and glycolysis. Mechanistically, it acts as a sponge/decoy for miR-142-5p to relieve repression of NFAT5, leading to increased glycolysis-related markers (HK2, LDHA) and enhanced tumor growth in vitro and in vivo.
