| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
RAC1 |
| Associated microRNA: |
hsa-miR-3686 |
| Biological function: |
Suggested to play roles in malignant transformation and metastasis of GC (within the proposed hsa_circ_0040573-hsa-miR-3686-RAC1 network). |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Proposed ceRNA relationship: hsa_circ_0040573-hsa-miR-3686-RAC1; RAC1 linked to Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis and cAMP signaling. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
cAMP signaling (other); other pathway/process (other); metastasis (promotes); invasion (promotes); migration (other); ceRNA regulation (other) |
| Detected method: |
M
|
| Validation methods: |
Microarray; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
- |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0040573 is reported as up-regulated in gastric cancer by integrated microarray analysis and external dataset validation. The paper proposes a ceRNA pair hsa_circ_0040573-hsa-miR-3686-RAC1 (with immune-cell correlation), suggesting involvement in GC malignant transformation and metastasis, but without experimental mechanistic assays. |
