| Clinical significance: |
high expression is associated with advanced TNM staging, lymph node involvement, distant metastasis, lower 5-year survival, and poor prognosis; promising diagnostic marker and therapeutic target |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0001588 is upregulated in breast cancer and is associated with advanced stage, lymph node involvement, distant metastasis, and poor survival. Functionally, it promotes proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT by acting as a miR-525-3p sponge to relieve repression of KPNB1, making it a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target. |
