In addition, the results from Pearson correlation analysis in 12 HCC samples showed that miR-516a-5p expression was negatively correlated with circ_0001955 expression (Fig. 7g), while TRAF6 and MAPK11 expression was positively correlated with circ_0001955 expression (Fig. 7h, i). Here, TRAF6 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
