| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
ZEB1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, MMP-2, VEGFA |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-1236-3p |
| Biological function: |
circ-CSPP1 promotes ovarian cancer cell growth, proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT and ovarian cancer development. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
circ-CSPP1 acts as a miR-1236-3p sponge, attenuates the inhibitory effect of miR-1236-3p on ZEB1, and thereby promotes EMT and ovarian cancer development. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); EMT (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |

| Validation methods: |
Microarray; RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Bioinformatics Analysis; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; MTT; Wound Healing Assay; Transwell Assay; Western Blot |
| Clinical significance: |
circ-CSPP1 expression was positively correlated with FIGO staging and differentiation, and the findings provide a new perspective for early diagnosis and targeted therapy of ovarian cancer. |
| Description: |
circ-CSPP1 (hsa_circ_0001806), derived from CSPP1, is up-regulated in ovarian cancer tissues and higher expression correlates with more advanced FIGO stage and poorer differentiation. Functionally, it promotes ovarian cancer cell growth, migration and invasion by sponging miR-1236-3p, relieving miR-1236-3p-mediated inhibition of ZEB1 and promoting EMT-related changes. |
