Identification of circMMP9 in GBM via microarray analysis
circMMP9 is oncogenic and associated with proliferation, migration and invasion in GBM cells
circMMP9 acts as a sponge and directly targets miR-124
circMMP9 accelerates GBM cell proliferation, migration and invasion by targeting miR-124
circMMP9 upregulates CDK4 and AURKA via miR-124
