METTL3-induced circ_0008345 contributes to the progression of colorectal cancer via the microRNA-182-5p/CYP1A2 pathway

Circular RNA (circRNAs) have been found to play major roles in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the functions of circ_0008345 (transcribed by PTK2) in regulating CRC development remain undefined. In this study, we aimed to explore the roles and underlying mechanisms of circ_0008345 in CRC.
