Profiling of circular RNAs and circTPCN/miR-634/mTOR regulatory pathway in cervical cancer.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are highly stable forms of endogenous non-coding RNA molecules with diverse biological functions. Some of them have been demonstrated to play crucial roles in the initiation or development of cancers through regulation of gene expression. However, the profiles and the roles of circRNAs in tumorigenesis of cervical cancer remain largely unknown.
