circRNA-disease information
Expression pattern:
UP
Associated gene: -
Associated microRNA: miR-423-5p
Biological function: Predicted upregulated ceRNA-network circRNA associated with miR-423-5p; its target mRNA group showed a rightward ECDF shift suggesting higher expression of miRNA target mRNAs in Hep3B cells.
Molecular mechanism: Predicted ceRNA mechanism involving miR-423-5p and derepression of miRNA target mRNAs.
Biological pathway or process:

ceRNA regulation (promotes)

Detected method:
Q
S
Validation methods:

Back-Splice Junction PCR / divergent primers PCR; Sanger Sequencing; RT-qPCR; RNA-seq; Bioinformatics Analysis

Clinical significance:

-

Description:

circSPECC1L was included among analyzed upregulated validated circRNAs in the ceRNA workflow. It was predicted to associate with miR-423-5p, and the corresponding target mRNA distribution suggested potential derepression of downstream targets in HBV-integrated Hep3B cells.

Confidence score:

0.4761
