Furthermore, circ-EPB41L5, which is down-regulated in GBM, is a circRNA gene that can inactivate the miR-19a, thereby inhibits the phosphorylation of the Akt through the EPB41L5 overexpression, and subsequently can repress the invasion and metastasis of glioma cells to inhibit the GBM tumorigenesis. This evidence concerns the gene EPB41L5 and glioblastoma.
