| Description: |
circSHKBP1 (hsa_circ_0000936) is up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and serum exosomes and is associated with advanced TNM stage and poor survival. Functionally, it promotes GC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis. Mechanistically, it sponges miR-582-3p to increase HUR and stabilize/raise VEGF, and it also binds HSP90 to block STUB1-mediated ubiquitination, reducing HSP90 degradation; exosomal circSHKBP1 supports intercellular communication and is proposed as a circulating biomarker. |
