| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
RREB1, HuR |
| Associated microRNA: |
- |
| Biological function: |
Upregulated in MS PBMCs and detectable in serum; expression decreases with higher disability (EDSS) in RRMS and SPMS. Proposed biomarker relevance and potential contribution to demyelination via HuR sequestration. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Predicted involvement in circRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks (RREB1) and possible RBP (HuR) sequestration. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
ceRNA regulation (other); immune regulation (other); inflammation (other) |
| Detected method: |
Q
M
|
| Validation methods: |
Microarray; RT-qPCR; divergent primers PCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Validated upregulated in MS PBMCs; also validated in serum. Lower levels are associated with higher disability (EDSS>4.5) in RRMS and SPMS. |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0000511 is up-regulated in MS PBMCs versus controls and is also validated in serum. Its PBMC level is lower in more disabled RRMS/SPMS patients (higher EDSS), suggesting association with disease severity and involvement in regulatory networks including RREB1 and RBP sequestration (HuR). |
| Confidence score: |
