May act as a miRNA sponge for hsa-miR-139-5p in a macrophage-infiltration-related regulatory network in HCC. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
miRNA sponge interaction with hsa-miR-139-5p supported by luciferase reporter assay (binding site dependent). |
| Biological pathway or process: |
ceRNA regulation (other); immune regulation (other) |
| Detected method: |
M

| Description: |
This study identifies hsa_circ_0007456 as a hub circRNA in a macrophage-infiltration-related circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network in HCC. It directly binds hsa-miR-139-5p in a binding-site-dependent luciferase reporter assay, supporting a miRNA-sponge (ceRNA) mechanism potentially affecting the miR-139-5p-CDCA8/KPNA2/PRC1/TOP2A subnetwork. |
