RETRACTED ARTICLE: CircTLK1 promotes the proliferation and metastasis of renal cell carcinoma by sponging miR-136-5p

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a novel type of noncoding RNA (ncRNA), are covalently linked circular configurations that form via a loop structure. Accumulating evidence indicates that circRNAs are potential biomarkers and key regulators of tumor development and progression. However, the precise roles of circRNAs in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain unknown.Through circRNA high-throughput sequencing of RCC cell lines, we identified the circRNA TLK1...
