circRNA-disease information
Expression pattern:
UP
Associated gene: BIRC5 / baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 5
Associated microRNA: miR-3622a-3p
Biological function: Promotes CRC progression, tumor growth, cell viability, proliferation, invasion, migration, and cell cycle progression; inhibits apoptosis; has potential diagnostic and therapeutic significance.
Molecular mechanism: circ_0050102 acts through a miRNA sponge/ceRNA mechanism by binding hsa-miR-3622a-3p and modulating the downstream target BIRC5.
Biological pathway or process:

ceRNA regulation (other); proliferation (promotes); apoptosis (inhibits); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); cell cycle (promotes); other pathway/process (promotes)

Detected method:
M
Validation methods:

Microarray; RNase R Treatment; RT-qPCR; FISH / smFISH; Transfection; CCK8; Annexin V/PI Flow Cytometry; Cell Cycle Assay; Transwell Assay; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Western Blot; In Vivo Animal Model; H&E Staining; IHC (Immunohistochemistry); ROC Analysis; Bioinformatics Analysis

Clinical significance:

High AUC value of 0.958 indicates diagnostic potential; circ_0050102 is proposed as a promising diagnostic marker, biomarker, therapeutic target, and upstream strategy to downregulate BIRC5.

Description:

circ_0050102 is upregulated in CRC and shows diagnostic potential with an AUC of 0.958. Functionally, circ_0050102 promotes CRC cell viability, proliferation, invasion, migration, cell cycle progression, and xenograft tumor growth while suppressing apoptosis. Mechanistically, it acts through a circ_0050102/miR-3622a-3p/BIRC5 regulatory axis consistent with a miRNA sponge/ceRNA mechanism.

Confidence score:

0.7955
