Circular RNA circ-ERBB2 promotes HER2-positive breast cancer progression and metastasis via sponging miR-136-5p and miR-198
Abstract Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are pivotal regulators of various human cancers and circ-ERBB2 is abnormally expressed in breast cancer cells. However, the role and mechanism of circ-ERBB2 in HER2-positive breast cancer are still unknown. Methods The circ-ERBB2 expressions in the tumor...

The circ-ERBB2 function was investigated by cell counting kit 8 assay, Transwell, flow cytometry and Western blot.
