| Expression pattern: |
DN |
| Associated gene: |
COL1A1, MMP2, relaxin signaling pathway |
| Associated microRNA: |
- |
| Biological function: |
may regulate fibrosis-related genes (COL1A1, MMP2) and affect TAO typing |
| Molecular mechanism: |
ceRNA network; negative correlation with COL1A1 and MMP2; relaxin signaling pathway involvement |
| Biological pathway or process: |
relaxin signaling (other); fibrosis (inhibits); ceRNA regulation (other) |

| Validation methods: |
RNA-seq; RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Bioinformatics Analysis; Transfection; Western Blot |
| Clinical significance: |
hsa_circ_0007006 could represent a meaningful diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for TAO subtyping |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0007006 is down-regulated in type II TAO versus type I TAO. In orbital fibroblasts, its lentiviral overexpression decreases COL1A1 and MMP2 protein levels, and the study links this axis to relaxin signaling and fibrosis-related TAO subtyping. |
