| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
IGF2 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-188-3p |
| Biological function: |
Promotes ox-LDL-induced HVSMC proliferation, migration, invasion and related injury; its knockdown attenuates these effects. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miR-188-3p sponge to regulate IGF2 expression in ox-LDL-treated HVSMCs. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; RNase R Treatment; Clinical Sample Validation; Transfection; CCK8; EdU Staining; Transwell Assay; Wound Healing Assay; Western Blot; RIP (RNA Immunoprecipitation); Luciferase Reporter Assay |
| Clinical significance: |

| Description: |
circ_0113656 (circDHCR24) is up-regulated in blood from atherosclerosis patients and in ox-LDL-treated HVSMCs. It promotes ox-LDL-induced HVSMC proliferation, migration and invasion by sponging miR-188-3p, thereby increasing IGF2; circ_0113656 knockdown alleviates these injury phenotypes via the miR-188-3p/IGF2 axis. |
