Aim: To study the role of circRNA (circ_0001730) in glioblastoma. Materials & methods: The interaction between circ 0001730 and miR-326 was confirmed by FISH, RNA pull down, RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays. Cell proliferation and growth were determined by MTT, EdU and colony formation assays. Cell migration was assessed by the Boyden assay. Results: The levels of circ_0001730 were elevated in glioblastoma cell lines and tissues. circ_0001730 downregulation suppressed migration and proliferation in glioblastoma cells. SP1 bounds to the promoter of circ 0001730 host gene EPHB4 thereby increasing the expression of circ_0001730. circ_0001730 activated the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway via the miR-326/Wnt7B axis. Conclusion: circ_000173 promoted growth and invasion in glioblastoma cells via the miR-326/Wnt7B axis.
