Associated microRNA: |
hsa-miR-214-3p |
Biological function: |
Circ_0060640 expression is higher in anterior lens capsule tissues from human cataractous eyes and TGF-beta2-stimulated hLECs cells line SRA01/04. RNA interference of circ_0060640 could prevent SRA01/04 cells from TGF-beta2-induced cell proliferation, migration and invasion, accompanied with decreased N-cadherin and alpha-smooth muscle actin and increased E-cadherin. |
Molecular mechanism: |
circ_0060640 directly controls microRNA (miR)-214-3p expression and then regulates gene expression of collagen type I alpha2 chain (COL1A2). Notably, COL1A2 inhibition is underlying the protective role of circ_0060640 silencing and hsa-miR-214-3p ectopic expression in TGF-beta2-stimulated SRA01/04 cells. |

Description: |
Circ_0060640 is a novel cataract-related gene and its silencing could block TGF-beta2-evoked hLECs proliferation, motility and EMTin vitrovia targeting miR-214-3p-COL1A2 axis. Therefore, targeting circ_0060640 via RNA interference might be a treatment strategy for PCO development. |
