Circular RNA DOCK1 downregulates microRNA‐124 to induce the growth of human thyroid cancer cell lines

Background Both circular RNA DOCK1 (circDOCK1) and microRNA‐124 (miR‐124) are implicated in carcinogenesis, but functional association between these two molecules remains uncharacterized. Here, we aimed to ascertain the role of circDOCK1‐miR‐124 node in thyroid cancer cells. Methods circDOCK1 in thyroid cancer specimens from 25 patients was quantified by qRT‐PCR. FTC‐133 and TPC‐1 cells were enforced to overproduce circDOCK1 and miR‐124 which...
