| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
KDM2A, Ago2 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-214 |
| Biological function: |
promotes OSCC cell invasion, proliferation, tumor growth and metastasis |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miRNA sponge for miR-214, thereby up-regulating KDM2A expression |
| Biological pathway or process: |
ceRNA regulation (promotes); invasion (promotes); migration (promotes); metastasis (promotes); proliferation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q

| Validation methods: |
circRNA-seq; RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Bioinformatics Analysis; Luciferase Reporter Assay; RNA Pull-Down; RIP (RNA Immunoprecipitation); Transfection; Transwell Assay; Colony Formation Assay; CCK8; Western Blot; In Vivo Animal Model |
| Clinical significance: |
The overexpression of circFOXO3 in OSCC provides new promising clinical biomarker for oral cancer diagnose. |
| Description: |
circFOXO3 is up-regulated in OSCC tissues and cell lines and promotes invasion and proliferation. Mechanistically, it acts as a ceRNA by sponging miR-214, relieving repression of KDM2A and thereby promoting OSCC progression, with in vivo xenograft evidence. |
