Circular RNA_0057209 Acts as ceRNA to Inhibit Thyroid Cancer Progression by Promoting the STK4-Mediated Hippo Pathway via Sponging MicroRNA-183

Figure 9

Schematic diagram of the mechanism by which circRNA_0057209 functioned in the thyroid cancer development. circRNA_0057209 upregulates STK4 through sponging miR-183 to activate the Hippo pathway, thereby inhibiting the proliferation, migration and invasion of thyroid cancer cells, and promoting cell apoptosis.
