Circ-RNF121 regulates tumor progression and glucose metabolism by miR-1224-5p/FOXM1 axis in colorectal cancer

Abstract Aim Previous studies have reported that circular RNA (circRNA) is associated with the pathogenesis of CRC. This study was designed to reveal the mechanism of circ-ring finger protein 121 (circ-RNF121) in colorectal cancer (CRC). Materials and methods The levels of circ-RNF121, microRNA-1224...

Key findings Circ-RNF121 and FOXM1 expression were dramatically upregulated, while miR-1224-5p expression was downregulated in CRC tissues or cells compared with control groups. Circ-RNF121 silencing repressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion and glycolysis but induced cell apoptosis in CRC, which were attenuated by miR-1224-5p inhibitor.
