| Expression pattern: |
DN |
| Associated gene: |
TET1 mRNA, TET1 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-942-5p |
| Biological function: |
circ_0007919 inhibits CRC cell growth, proliferation and migration, and acts as a tumor suppressor in colorectal cancer. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
circ_0007919 functions as a cytoplasmic ceRNA that sponges miR-942-5p, thereby increasing TET1 expression and probably regulating epigenetics in CRC cells. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (inhibits); migration (inhibits); ceRNA regulation (other); other pathway/process (other) |
| Detected method: |

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Microarray; Clinical Sample Validation; Bioinformatics Analysis; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Fractionation; Transfection; CCK8; BrdU; Transwell Assay; Wound Healing Assay; Western Blot; Survival Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Low circ_0007919 expression was associated with shorter overall survival, TNM stage and histopathological grade in CRC patients. |
| Description: |
circ_0007919 is down-regulated in colorectal cancer tissues and cell lines, and its low expression is associated with shorter overall survival. Functionally, circ_0007919 suppresses CRC cell proliferation and migration by acting as a cytoplasmic ceRNA for miR-942-5p, thereby increasing TET1 expression and contributing to tumor-suppressive epigenetic regulation. |
