Hsa_circ_002178 Promotes the Growth and Migration of Breast Cancer Cells and Maintains Cancer Stem-like Cell Properties Through Regulating miR-1258/KDM7A Axis.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer (BrCa) is the most common malignancy in women. Accumulating evidence demonstrated that abnormal circRNA expression is associated with the occurrence and progression of tumors. We analyzed the GSE101123 data and found that the expression of hsa_circ_002178 (circ_002178) was significantly increased in BrCa tissues. However, the role and possible underlying mechanisms of circ_002178 in BrCa still remain unrevealed. In this investigation, the expression levels of circ_002178 in cancer tissues or BrCa cells were significantly upregulated compared with those in paracancer tissues or normal cells. High expression of circ_002178 was correlated with the low survival rate, clinical tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and tumor, nodes, and metastases grade. After microsphere culture, the
