Circ_TMCO3 Inhibits the Progression of Cervical Cancer by Activating FRMD6 Expression by Restraining miR-1291

Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common cancers that threaten the life of women. More and more circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found to be maladjusted in tumor tissues. However, the mechanism of circ_TMCO3 in CC needs to be studied. In this study, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), western blot, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to detect the expressions of circ_TMCO3, miR-1291, and FERM domain-containing protein 6 (FRMD6). Cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and protein level were detected via 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), 5-Ethynyl-2
