hsa_circ_0072389, hsa_circ_0072386, hsa_circ_0008621, hsa_circ_0072387, and hsa_circ_0072391 aggravate glioma via miR-338-5p/IKBIP

Glioma is a primary intracranial tumor with high morbidity and mortality. We acquired miR-338-5p, which suppresses the development of glioma, from the GEO and CGGA databases. In addition, we predicted that hsa_circ_0072389, hsa_circ_0072386, hsa_circ_0008621, hsa_circ_0072387, and hsa_circ_0072391 could relieve the silencing of IKBIP by miR-338-5p. By analyzing genes related to IKBIP expression, possible pathways affecting glioma were identified. This study provides new ideas for investigating multiple circRNAs in ceRNAs.
