CircTUBD1-hnRNPK Regulates the Proliferation and Migration of LSCC by Targeting CCAR1.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies of the head and neck region. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found to exhibit abnormal expression patterns in various tumors and play pivotal roles in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.

Methods

Functional assays assessed proliferation, migration, and invasion. Mechanistic studies were performed to explore the interaction between circTUBD1 and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK), as well as its regulation of Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Regulator 1 (CCAR1). In vivo experiments confirmed circTUBD1's role in tumor growth and metastasis.

Results

We discovered that circTUBD1 is significantly upregulated in LSCC and promotes the proliferation, invasion, and migratio
