| Associated gene: |
ACTA2, ITGB1, VEGFA, IVL, CCNE1, SALL4, BTLA, KCNK10 |
| Associated microRNA: |

| Biological function: |
Hampers epidermal keratinocyte migration and promotes proliferation; increased expression in VUs may contribute to nonmigratory, hyperproliferative, and abnormally differentiated wound-edge keratinocytes. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Regulates keratinocyte gene networks related to epidermal differentiation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, adhesion, and cell cycle; may regulate VU-related genes through a miRNA sponge mechanism based on circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network analysis. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); migration (inhibits); cell cycle (promotes); EMT (inhibits); ceRNA regulation (other); other pathway/process (inhibits) |

Back-Splice Junction PCR / divergent primers PCR; RNase R Treatment; Sanger Sequencing; RT-qPCR; RNA-seq; Microarray; Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Fractionation; Clinical Sample Validation; Transfection; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Upregulated in venous ulcers and may contribute to the pathological nonmigratory, hyperproliferative, and abnormally differentiated state of VU wound-edge keratinocytes. |
| Description: |
hsa-TNFRSF21_0001 is a human circRNA upregulated in venous ulcers. It is mainly cytoplasmic in keratinocytes and promotes proliferation/cell cycle while suppressing migration and differentiation/EMT-related programs, thereby potentially contributing to the abnormal wound-edge keratinocyte phenotype in VU. |
