Circ_0029803 serves as the sponge of miR-216b-5p to promote the progression of colorectal cancer by regulating SKIL expression
Abstract Background Circular RNA 0029803 (circ_0029803) was found to be upregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues, but its function and underlying molecular mechanism are not studied in CRC.Methods The expression levels of circ_0029803, microRNA-216b-5p (miR-216b-5p), and ski-oncogene-like (SKIL) were measured by quantitative real-time polymer
