| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
HSP90AA1, HNRNPF, AR, AR-V7 |
| Associated microRNA: |
- |
| Biological function: |
Promotes proliferation, invasion, migration, anti-apoptotic capacity, and docetaxel resistance of prostate cancer cells; promotes AR activation and AR-V7 generation and CRPC phenotypes. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Encodes a protein (circRNF19A-490aa) that binds HSP90AA1 to enhance AR activity and activate Akt/mTOR and PLK1 pathways; binds HNRNPF to recruit it to the AR-V7 splice site to enhance AR-V7 alternative splicing; AR transcriptionally regulates RNF19A to modulate circRNF19A expression. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
PI3K/AKT/mTOR (promotes); proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); apoptosis (inhibits); drug resistance (promotes); cell cycle (promotes); other pathway/process (promotes) |

| Clinical significance: |
circRNF19A was highly expressed in prostate cancer tissues and was strongly correlated with an advanced Gleason score, biochemical recurrence and advanced T stage. |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0085121 (circRNF19A), derived from RNF19A, is up-regulated in prostate cancer tissues and cell lines and correlates with aggressive clinicopathological features. It encodes a 490-aa protein that promotes malignant phenotypes and drug resistance by interacting with HSP90AA1 to enhance AR nuclear activity and activate Akt/mTOR and PLK1 signaling, and by interacting with HNRNPF to facilitate AR-V7 alternative splicing and CRPC-related phenotypes. |
