| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
E2F3 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-125a-3p |
| Biological function: |
promotes proliferation and invasion and inhibits apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells |
| Molecular mechanism: |
circRHOT1 acts as an endogenous sponge of miR-125a-3p to regulate E2F3 expression |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); invasion (promotes); apoptosis (inhibits); cell cycle (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
Back-Splice Junction PCR / divergent primers PCR; RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Transfection; CCK8; EdU Staining; Colony Formation Assay; Transwell Assay; Annexin V/PI Flow Cytometry; Cell Cycle Assay; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Western Blot |
| Clinical significance: |
circRHOT1 expression level was correlated with lymphatic metastasis in PDAC; may serve as a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target |
| Description: |
circRHOT1 is up-regulated in PDAC tissues and pancreatic cancer cell lines. It promotes proliferation and invasion and suppresses apoptosis by sponging miR-125a-3p, thereby increasing E2F3 expression. |
