Circular RNA ACVR2A suppresses bladder cancer cells proliferation and metastasis through miR-626/EYA4 axis

Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been considered to mediate occurrence and development of human cancers, generally acting as microRNA (miRNA) sponges to regulate downstream genes expression. However, the aberrant expression profile and dysfunction of circRNAs in human bladder cancer remain to be investigated. The present study aims to elucidate the potential role and molecular mechanism of circACVR2A in regulating the proliferation and metastasis of bladder cancer.
