Hsa_circRNA_103124 Upregulation in Crohn’s Disease Promotes Cell Proliferation and Inhibits Autophagy by Regulating the Hsa-miR-650/AKT2 Signaling Pathway

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). We discovered that hsa_circRNA_103124 was upregulated in CD patients in our previous study. Nonetheless, the function of hsa_circRNA_103124 is unclear. In this study, hsa_circRNA_103124 was predicted to interact with hsa-miR-650. Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analyses identified AKT serine/threonine kinase 2 (AKT2) as the downstream target protein of...
