| Expression pattern: |
DN |
| Associated gene: |
Dkk1, beta-Catenin, c-Myc |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-31 |
| Biological function: |
Inhibits colorectal cancer cell proliferation and induces apoptosis. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miR-31 sponge; via miR-31 affects Dkk1 and activates/suppresses Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
Wnt/beta-catenin (inhibits); proliferation (inhibits); apoptosis (promotes); ceRNA regulation (other) |
| Detected method: |
Q

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Transfection; CCK8; Annexin V/PI Flow Cytometry; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Western Blot |
| Clinical significance: |
- |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0000523 is down-regulated in colorectal cancer cell lines and functions as a tumor-suppressive circRNA by inhibiting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Mechanistically, it sponges miR-31 and thereby suppresses Wnt/beta-catenin signaling (with effects on Dkk1, nuclear beta-catenin and c-Myc). |
| Confidence score: |
0.5223 |
