Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been shown to be associated with the occurrence and development of cervical cancer (CC). In the present study, we aimed to investigate the tumor-promoting effect of hsa_circ_0000069 (circ0000069) on CC and the mechanisms underlying its effect. We found that circ0000069 was upregulated in CC cells and tissues, and that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification maintained circ0000069 stability. Gain-and loss-of-function assays revealed that circ0000069 promoted CC cell proliferation and migration. miR-4 426 specifically binds circ0000069 and mediates its functions in CC development. In conclusion, circ0000069 was upregulated partially due to m6A modification, which promoted cell proliferation and migration via sponging miR-4 426 in CC.(c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
