| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
CBX4 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-515-5p |
| Biological function: |
Promotes breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor growth in vivo; knockdown suppresses proliferation, migration, invasion and xenograft tumor growth. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
hsa_circ_0008039 acts as a ceRNA sponge for miR-515-5p to upregulate CBX4 expression, thereby promoting breast cancer development. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); metastasis (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Transfection; MTT; Transwell Assay; Luciferase Reporter Assay; RIP (RNA Immunoprecipitation); RNA Pull-Down; Western Blot; In Vivo Animal Model; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Potential therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment. |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0008039 is up-regulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. It promotes breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion and xenograft tumor growth by acting as a ceRNA for miR-515-5p and increasing CBX4 expression, suggesting potential therapeutic relevance. |
