| Expression pattern: |
DN |
| Associated gene: |
NUDT21, CDX2 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-9 |
| Biological function: |
Overexpression of hsa_circ_0007874 antagonized miR-9-mediated silencing of CDX2 and rescued NUDT21 knockdown-induced HCC cell proliferation and colony formation. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
NUDT21 promotes hsa_circ_0007874 cyclization through UGUA motifs; hsa_circ_0007874 functions as a ceRNA sponge for miR-9 to restore CDX2 expression. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
ceRNA regulation (promotes); proliferation (inhibits) |

| Description: |
hsa_circ_0007874 is a NUDT21 target circRNA downregulated in HCC-related datasets and NUDT21-knockdown HCC cells. It acts as a ceRNA for miR-9 to relieve repression of CDX2, and its overexpression suppresses NUDT21 knockdown-induced HCC cell growth and colony formation. |
