Circ-RNF121 regulates tumor progression and glucose metabolism by miR-1224-5p/FOXM1 axis in colorectal cancer

Aim Previous studies have reported that circular RNA (circRNA) is associated with the pathogenesis of CRC. This study was designed to reveal the mechanism of circ-ring finger protein 121 (circ-RNF121) in colorectal cancer (CRC). Materials and methods The levels of circ-RNF121, microRNA-1224-5p (miR-1224-5p) and forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Protein level was detected by...
