circRNA-disease information
Expression pattern:
UP
Associated gene: MDH1
Associated microRNA: hsa-miR-513b-5p
Biological function: promotes proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells; promotes subcutaneous tumor growth in nude mice
Molecular mechanism: ceRNA mechanism: hsa_circ_0018909 sponges hsa-miR-513b-5p, negatively regulates its expression, and indirectly upregulates MDH1
Biological pathway or process:

proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes)

Detected method:
Q
Validation methods:

RNA-seq; RT-qPCR; Sanger Sequencing; FISH / smFISH; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; CCK8; Colony Formation Assay; Transwell Assay; Western Blot; In Vivo Animal Model; Clinical Sample Validation; Cohort Study; Survival Analysis; Bioinformatics Analysis

Clinical significance:

High hsa_circ_0018909 expression was associated with shorter OS and DFS in NSCLC patients

Description:

hsa_circ_0018909 is upregulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines and promotes proliferation, migration, invasion, and xenograft tumor growth. It functions mainly in the cytoplasm as a ceRNA that sponges hsa-miR-513b-5p, leading to increased MDH1 expression and poorer patient survival when highly expressed.

Confidence score:

0.8152

Other information
Title:

Hsa_circ_0018909 promotes non-small cell lung cancer by directly regulating hsa-miR-513b-5p.
