| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
ACKR3 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-100 |
| Biological function: |
promotes brain metastasis formation/progression in NSCLC; associated with advanced TNM stage, more BM foci, and worse OS/PFS |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Regulates the miR-100/ACKR3 signaling pathway (ceRNA-like upstream regulation inferred but not directly validated in this study). |
| Biological pathway or process: |
metastasis (promotes); ceRNA regulation (other) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Cohort Study; Survival Analysis; In Vivo Animal Model; Transfection; Western Blot; ELISA; H&E Staining; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Serum hsa_circ_0072309 level is associated with advanced TNM stage, more BM foci, and decreased post-operative OS and PFS; proposed as diagnostic/prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for NSCLC-derived BM. |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0072309 is up-regulated in primary lung tumors, brain metastasis tissues, and serum of NSCLC patients with BM. High serum levels correlate with advanced TNM stage, more BM foci, and poorer OS/PFS, and functionally promote BM formation in a mouse model via the miR-100/ACKR3 axis. |
