| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
BCL2L13 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miRNA-103a-3p |
| Biological function: |
Promotes CSE-induced apoptosis in HPMECs (pro-apoptotic role in the COPD cell model). |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miRNA sponge for miRNA-103a-3p, thereby relieving miRNA-103a-3p-mediated repression of BCL2L13 and promoting apoptosis. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
apoptosis (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; Annexin V/PI Flow Cytometry; Western Blot; ELISA; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
- |
| Description: |
circRNA BBS9 is up-regulated in a CSE-induced COPD cell model and promotes endothelial cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, it sponges miRNA-103a-3p to derepress the downstream target BCL2L13, forming a circRNA BBS9/miRNA-103a-3p/BCL2L13 axis that drives apoptosis. |
