MVD may be a safe and effective strategy for HFS patients in view of relatively higher cure rates and lower complication risks within follow-up. Besides, patients' age, duration of disease, intraoperative indentation of the REZ of the facial nerve, and disappearance of AMR were the major influential variables may be useful for the prediction of prognosis in the patients underwent MVD.
Accumulating studies demonstrate the critical role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the pathogenesis of various types of cancers. Previously, hsa_circ_0034642 has been found elevated in glioma tissues compared with the normal tissues, as proved by high-throughput microarray. We further investigated its expression level in 52 paired tissues and different glioma cell lines by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. In addition, Fisher's exact test, Kaplan-Meier curves, and Cox analyses were performed to elucidate the clinical significance of hsa_circ_0034642. For the part of functional assays, gain/ loss-of-function assays were conducted to measure cell growth, apoptosis, and metastatic properties affected by hsa_circ_0034642. Furthermore, the mechanisms of hsa_circ_0034642 were investigated by dual-luciferase reporter assays. As the results demonstrated, hsa_circ_0034642 was boosted in glioma tissues and cells. Overexpression of hsa_circ_0034642 was associated with clinical severity and poor prognosis. What is more, elevated hsa_circ_0034642 strikingly facilitated cell proliferation, migratory and invasive capacities, and decreased apoptotic cells. Mechanistically, hsa_circ_0034642 sponges miR-1205. miR-1205 regulates BATF3 level through targeting its 3′-untranslated region. In summary, hsa_circ_0034642 might play a key role in this malignancy.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
