Circular RNA CNOT2 knockdown regulates twist family BHLH transcription factor via targeting microRNA 409-3p to prevent breast cancer invasion, migration and epithelial–mesenchymal transition

Numerous studies have manifested that cicular RNA (circRNA) is closely associated with the development of breast cancer (BC), but the specific mechanism has not been fully clarified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of circCNOT2 on BC invasion, migration and epithelial mesench...
