Abstract Mounting evidences indicate that circular RNAs (circRNAs) have a vital role in human diseases, especially cancers. More recently, circHIPK3, particularly abundant circRNA, was proposed to be involved tumorigenesis. However, its colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been explored. In this study, we found circHIPK3 significantly upregulated CRC tissues and cell lines, at least part, due c-Myb overexpression positively correlated with metastasis advanced clinical stage.
