Regulation of transforming growth factor-beta1 by circANKS1B/miR-515-5p affects the metastatic potential and cisplatin resistance in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral cancer, with an increasing worldwide incidence and a worsening prognosis. Emerging evidence confirms that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a critical role in tumor progression via sponging miRNAs. A previous study substantiated the function of...

Emerging evidence confirms that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a critical role in tumor progression via sponging miRNAs. A previous study substantiated the function of circANKS1B in several cancers.

description Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral cancer, with an increasing worldwide incidence and a worsening prognosis.
