| Biological function: |
Potential blood biomarker for CRC; associated with increased circular-to-linear ratio in peripheral blood of patients with CRC. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
The study suggests increased circularization of HIPK3 transcripts in CRC peripheral blood, but does not experimentally define a molecular mechanism for circHIPK3. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
other pathway/process (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation |
| Clinical significance: |
Potential blood biomarker for CRC progression, screening, diagnosis, and treatment. |
| Description: |
In this study, circHIPK3 was measured in peripheral blood from CRC patients and healthy controls. Its absolute expression was higher but not statistically significant, while the circHIPK3:linHIPK3 ratio was significantly increased, suggesting elevated circularization and potential value as a blood biomarker for CRC. |
