Circular RNA UBR1 promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion but represses apoptosis of lung cancer cells via modulating microRNA-545-5p/SSFA2 axis

Lung cancer (LC) is a malignant tumor with the highest incidence in the world, and its specific pathogenesis is still unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a group of non-coding RNAs that play a key role in the development and progression of various cancers. The expression pattern and function of ci...
