| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
E2F1 |
| Associated microRNA: |
hsa-miR-370-3p, hsa-miR-136-5p |
| Biological function: |
promotes tumour growth and advancement (inferred via hub-gene-centered ceRNA network) |
| Molecular mechanism: |
ceRNA axis: hsa-circ-000996 sponges hsa-miR-136-5p to enhance E2F1 in the final network |
| Biological pathway or process: |
ceRNA regulation (promotes); cell cycle (promotes); angiogenesis (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
M
|
| Validation methods: |
Microarray; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
This circRNA was among upstream circRNAs of the final hub-gene network; hub genes/modules were associated with pathological stage, survival, and B-cell infiltration (circRNA implication is indirect). |
| Description: |
hsa_circRNA_000996 is upregulated in HCC and included in the final ceRNA network as part of the miR-136-5p/E2F1 axis (with other circRNAs). It is indirectly implicated in HCC progression via ceRNA-mediated regulation of the hub gene E2F1. |
