| Expression pattern: |
DN |
| Associated gene: |
MMP9, estrogen receptors (ERs), E2 |
| Associated microRNA: |
- |
| Biological function: |
Downregulation of hsa_circ_0001649 promotes stromal cell migration and invasion and contributes to E2-enhanced invasiveness via increasing MMP9. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
E2 downregulates hsa_circ_0001649 via estrogen receptors (ERs); decreased hsa_circ_0001649 is involved in E2-mediated upregulation of MMP9, promoting stromal cell invasion/migration. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
migration (inhibits); invasion (inhibits); metastasis (inhibits) |
| Detected method: |

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Back-Splice Junction PCR / divergent primers PCR; Sanger Sequencing; Transfection; Western Blot; Transwell Assay; Clinical Sample Validation |
| Clinical significance: |

| Description: |
In endometriosis, hsa_circ_0001649 is decreased in eutopic and ectopic endometrium and is downregulated by estradiol via estrogen receptors. Reduced hsa_circ_0001649 contributes to E2-driven MMP9 upregulation and promotes stromal cell migration and invasion, while circRNA overexpression reverses these effects. |
