| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
SOX4 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-576-3p |
| Biological function: |
Promotes breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion; knockdown suppresses malignant behaviors of breast cancer cells. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
hsa_circ_0012673 acts as a ceRNA by sponging miR-576-3p, thereby protecting or upregulating SOX4 and promoting malignant behaviors in breast cancer cells. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); ceRNA regulation (other) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Transfection; Luciferase Reporter Assay; CCK8; Colony Formation Assay; Wound Healing Assay; Transwell Assay; Western Blot; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Potential diagnostic and therapeutic molecule or biomarker for breast cancer. |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0012673 is upregulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines and functions as an oncogenic circRNA. It promotes breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion by sponging miR-576-3p and upregulating SOX4 through a ceRNA mechanism. The study suggests hsa_circ_0012673 may have potential value as a biomarker and therapeutic target for breast cancer. |
