circRNA-disease information
Expression pattern:
DN
Associated gene: RBM10, SF3B1
Associated microRNA: -
Biological function: Tumor-suppressive: decreases colony formation and cell viability; rescues RBM10-loss tumorigenic phenotype; reduces xenograft tumor weight.
Molecular mechanism: RBM10 directly binds intronic flanking regions to modulate exon skipping and circularization; RBM10-SF3B1 axis regulates circHIPK3 formation; SF3B1 is epistatic to RBM10.
Biological pathway or process:

proliferation (inhibits); cell cycle (inhibits); other pathway/process (other)

Detected method:
Q
S
Validation methods:

RNA-seq; RT-qPCR; Back-Splice Junction PCR / divergent primers PCR; RNase R Treatment; Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Fractionation; RNA Pull-Down; CLIP; Transfection; Colony Formation Assay; CCK8; In Vivo Animal Model; Co-IP; Bioinformatics Analysis

Clinical significance:

Downregulated in LUAD tumors (including RBM10-mutant tumors) and correlated with RBM10 expression; highlighted as a promising biomarker and potential therapeutic target in RBM10-deficient LUAD.

Description:

circHIPK3 is an RBM10-dependent circRNA that is down-regulated in LUAD, especially in RBM10-mutant tumors. Functionally, increasing circHIPK3 suppresses LUAD cell growth and reduces xenograft tumor burden, consistent with a tumor-suppressor role linked to RBM10-mediated splicing/circularization control involving SF3B1.

Confidence score:

0.7884
