circRNA-disease information
Expression pattern:
UP
Associated gene: H2AFX
Associated microRNA: hsa-miR-187-3p, hsa-miR-145-5p
Biological function: promotes tumour growth and advancement (inferred via hub-gene-centered ceRNA network)
Molecular mechanism: ceRNA network: included in miR-145-5p/H2AFX axis as an upstream circRNA
Biological pathway or process:

ceRNA regulation (promotes); cell cycle (promotes); angiogenesis (promotes)
Detected method:
M
Validation methods:

Microarray; Bioinformatics Analysis
Clinical significance:

This circRNA was among upstream circRNAs of the final hub-gene network; hub genes/modules were associated with pathological stage, survival, and B-cell infiltration (circRNA implication is indirect).
Description:

hsa_circRNA_100053 is upregulated in HCC and included in the final ceRNA network, particularly within the miR-145-5p/H2AFX axis. It is indirectly implicated as a cancer-promoting circRNA through computational ceRNA regulation of a hub gene.
Confidence score:

0.1768
