circUBE2G1 interacts with hnRNPU to promote VEGF-C-mediated lymph node metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Background: Patients with lymph node(LN)metastasis-positive Lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD)suffer from a significantly reduced five-year survival rate. Increasing evidence indicates circular RNAs(circRNAs)play crucial roles in regulating cancer progression. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms of circRNAs in the LN metastasis of LUAD have not been fully explored.
