| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
ROCK1, CDK6 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-124 |
| Biological function: |
Promotes gallbladder cancer cell survival, proliferation and colony formation, and inhibits apoptosis; circHIPK3 silencing inhibits cancer cell viability and proliferation while inducing apoptosis. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
circHIPK3 sponges and inhibits miR-124, leading to increased expression of miR-124 targets ROCK1 and CDK6. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); apoptosis (inhibits); ceRNA regulation (other) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Transfection; CCK8; BrdU; Colony Formation Assay; TUNEL; Western Blot |
| Clinical significance: |
The overexpressed circHIPK3 could be a novel therapeutic target and diagnosis marker of human gallbladder cancer. |
| Description: |
circHIPK3 is upregulated in human gallbladder cancer cells and tissues. Functionally, it promotes gallbladder cancer cell survival, proliferation and colony formation while suppressing apoptosis. Mechanistically, circHIPK3 acts as a miR-124 sponge, increasing ROCK1 and CDK6 expression, and may serve as a therapeutic target and diagnostic marker. |
