| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
LASP1, Ago2 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-1294 |
| Biological function: |
Promotes proliferation and invasion and inhibits apoptosis in esophageal cancer cells. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miRNA sponge for miR-1294 to increase LASP1 expression (ceRNA-like regulation). |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); invasion (promotes); apoptosis (inhibits); ceRNA regulation (other) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Luciferase Reporter Assay; RIP (RNA Immunoprecipitation); Transfection; CCK8; Annexin V/PI Flow Cytometry; Transwell Assay; Western Blot; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
High expression of hsa_circ_0004370 was associated with the tumor size in EC. |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0004370 is up-regulated in esophageal cancer tissues and cell lines and promotes malignant behaviors (proliferation and invasion) while inhibiting apoptosis. Mechanistically, it sponges miR-1294 to relieve repression of LASP1, forming the hsa_circ_0004370/miR-1294/LASP1 axis. |
