The sequence of SPECC1-415aa, which is encoded by circSPECC1, can inhibit the binding of ANXA2 to EGFR by competitively binding to ANXA2 and inhibiting the phosphorylation of EGFR and AKT, thereby restoring the sensitivity of TMZ-resistant GBM cells to TMZ. This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and glioblastoma.
