Circ-EIF3I Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression Through Modulating miR-361-3p/DUSP2 Axis

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant cancers globally. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in the development of HCC. Previous studies have confirmed that circ-EIF3I plays an important role in the progress of lung cancer. Nevertheless, the biological functions of circ-EIF3I and the underlying mechanisms by which they regulate HCC progression remain unclear. In this study, the regulatory mechanism and targets were studied with bioinformatics analysis, luciferase reporting analysis, transwell migration, Cell Counting Kit-8, and 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine analysis. In addition,
