Up-regulated in GC tissues/cells/plasma, shows good diagnostic efficacy (ROC AUC 0.857 in plasma vs healthy donors) and can predict prognosis; low-expression group has higher survival rate; expression decreases after surgery in the same patient.
circPTPN22 is significantly up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues, cells, and patient plasma and correlates with lymph node metastasis and worse survival. Functionally, circPTPN22 promotes proliferation, migration/invasion and tumor growth; its knockdown suppresses EMT marker changes (E-cad up, N-cad/Vimentin/Snail down). The study suggests circPTPN22 may act via a predicted ceRNA mechanism by binding multiple miRNAs (e.g., has_miR_665), supporting its diagnostic/prognostic biomarker potential.

As a biomarker for gastric cancer, circPTPN22 regulates the progression of gastric cancer through the EMT pathway.
