Circ_0067997 boosted the growth while repressed the apoptosis of SGC-7901/DDP cells via repressing miR-615-5p/AKT1 pathway

This study demonstrated that circ_0067997 functioned as a sponge of miR-615-5p to target AKT1 expression, thereby enhancing the growth and restricting the apoptosis of DDP-insensitive GC cells. These new findings offered a valuable target for the detection and management of GC.
