CircRNA WHSC1 promotes non‐small cell lung cancer progression via sponging microRNA‐296‐3p and up‐regulating expression of AKT serine/threonine kinase 3

Abstract

CircWHSC1 is an independent indicator of poor prognosis in NSCLC patients, and functions as a ceRNA of miR-296-3p to up-regulate AKT3, consequently promotes NSCLC cell growth and metastasis. Targeting circWHSC1 might be a prospective strategy for diagnosis, therapeutics, and prognosis of NSCLC.
