The role of circ_0089153 in breast cancer (BCa) malignancy development was explored. circ_0089153 expression in BCa was analyzed by Gene Expression Omnibus database. Clinical tissues were obtained from 90 BCa patients. Cell counting kit‐8 assay, 5‐ethnyl‐2 deoxyuridine assay and colony formation experiment were applied for proliferation detection. Wound healing assay and Transwell experiment were used for migration and invasion detection. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay, RNA immunoprecipitation assay and RNA pull‐down assay were conducted. In vivo growth and metastasis of BCa cells were performed. Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot and immunohistochemistry were applied for RNAs and proteins expression. The up‐modulated circ_0089153 indicated an unfavorable survival of BCa patients. circ_0089153 knockdown attenuated BCa cells proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) (P < .01). circ_0089153 was miR‐2467‐3p sponge. Low miR‐2467‐3p expression indicated a worse survival of BCa patients. miR‐2467‐3p overexpression reduced BCa cells proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT (P < .05). circ_0089153 enhanced BCa cells proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT by sponging miR‐2467‐3p (P < .05). E2F6 was directly suppressed by miR‐2467‐3p. E2F6 high expression in BCa patients associated with worse survival. circ_0089153 knockdown suppressed in vivo BCa cells growth and lung metastasis (P < .01). circ_0089153 was an oncogene in breast cancer, which enhanced proliferation and metastasis through sponging miR‐2467‐3p/E2F6. circ_0089153 was suggested to be a potential target for BCa target treatment.
