| Expression pattern: |
UN |
| Associated gene: |
YTHDF1 |
| Associated microRNA: |
hsa-miR-139-5p |
| Biological function: |
Promotes HCC cell proliferation. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miRNA sponge for hsa-miR-139-5p, relieving repression of YTHDF1 and increasing YTHDF1 expression. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
Back-Splice Junction PCR / divergent primers PCR; Sanger Sequencing; RT-qPCR; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; CCK8; Western Blot |
| Clinical significance: |
- |
| Description: |
circMAP2K4 (hsa_circ_0007456) promotes proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Mechanistically, it sponges hsa-miR-139-5p, leading to increased YTHDF1 expression and partial reversal of miR-139-5p-mediated growth inhibition. |
