CircTP63 promotes cell proliferation and invasion by regulating EZH2 via sponging miR-217 in gallbladder cancer

Abstract Background Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common biliary tract malignancy and has a poor prognosis in patients with GBC. CircRNA TP63 (circTP63) has been implicated in cell proliferation and invasion in some tumor progress. The study aims to investigate the clinical significance and f...
