| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
GRIK3 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-331-3p |
| Biological function: |
promotes CRC cell proliferation and migration |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miRNA sponge for miR-331-3p to increase GRIK3 expression |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Bioinformatics Analysis; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; CCK8; Transwell Assay; Clinical Sample Validation |
| Clinical significance: |
Aberrant hsa_circ_0038646 expression was positively related with increasing tumor grade |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0038646 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer tissues and cell lines and promotes CRC cell proliferation and migration. Mechanistically, it sponges miR-331-3p, thereby relieving miR-331-3p-mediated repression of GRIK3 and increasing GRIK3 expression. |
