Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been uncovered to play an important regulatory function in the tumorigenesis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Hsa_circ_0,019,054 was found to be increased in ICC. Here, we aimed to explore the action and mechanism of hsa_circ_0,019,054 in ICC carcinogenesis.

Methods: Expression of circRTN4IP1, microRNA-541-5p (miR-541-5p), hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) and other indicated protein markers was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or Western blot.
