Overexpression of circ_0005882 significantly reduces the proliferative capacity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, indicating its potential as a tumor suppressor.
The m6A reader YTHDF2 binds to circ_0005882 and promotes its degradation, providing an upstream switch to control its expression.
circ_0005882 sponges miR-654-3p, relieving its inhibition of downstream target genes to suppress NPC proliferation.
