| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
- |
| Associated microRNA: |
- |
| Biological function: |
Associated with sorafenib resistance and poorer survival outcomes in HCC; proposed as a driver of chemoresistance. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
- |
| Biological pathway or process: |
chemoresistance (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Survival Analysis; ROC Analysis; Cohort Study |
| Clinical significance: |
Serum hsa_circ_0000615 is upregulated in chemoresistant HCC and is an independent predictor of OS/PFS; ROC AUC=0.9238 to differentiate HCC patients and healthy controls; high expression associated with shorter OS. |
| Description: |
Serum hsa_circ_0000615 is up-regulated in HCC, especially in sorafenib-resistant patients, and higher levels correlate with advanced stage and shorter survival. It shows diagnostic/prognostic utility (ROC) and is proposed as a driver/biomarker of sorafenib resistance. |
| Confidence score: |
