| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
NUCKS1 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-4262 |
| Biological function: |
Facilitates CRC cell proliferation, metastasis (migration/invasion) and stemness, and suppresses apoptosis; promotes xenograft tumor growth. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miRNA sponge for miR-4262 to positively regulate NUCKS1 expression (ceRNA-like regulation). |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); metastasis (promotes); stemness (promotes); apoptosis (inhibits); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; RNase R Treatment; Actinomycin D / DRB Stability Assay; Transfection; Colony Formation Assay; Transwell Assay; Annexin V/PI Flow Cytometry; Luciferase Reporter Assay; RNA Pull-Down; Western Blot; In Vivo Animal Model; Clinical Sample Validation |
| Clinical significance: |

| Description: |
hsa_circ_0001550 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer and acts as an oncogenic circRNA. It sponges miR-4262 to up-regulate the downstream target NUCKS1, thereby promoting proliferation, migration/invasion, stemness, and in vivo xenograft tumor growth while inhibiting apoptosis. |
