In conclusion, circFOXO3 acts as a miR‐29a‐3p sponge to exhibit oncogenic activity that affects the cell cycle and cell apoptosis in PCa through transcriptional up‐regulation of SLC25A15. Our analysis suggests circFOXO3 could act as promising prostate cancer biomarkers. The gene discussed is SLC25A15; the disease is posterior cortical atrophy.
