| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
MCAM, CHAF1B |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-516b-5p |
| Biological function: |
Promotes migration of metastatic melanoma cells and increases aggressiveness; circ_0079593 silencing reduces tumor cell migration. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miRNA sponge for miR-516b-5p, thereby relieving repression of MCAM and CHAF1B. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
migration (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; RNase R Treatment; Transfection; Wound Healing Assay; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Western Blot; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
- |
| Description: |
circ_0079593 is up-regulated in melanoma metastatic cell lines and promotes metastatic melanoma cell migration. Mechanistically, it sponges miR-516b-5p, reducing miR-516b-5p activity and thereby supporting higher MCAM and CHAF1B expression. |
