| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
PTBP1, AGO2 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-1205 |
| Biological function: |
Promotes osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion and accelerates tumor growth in vivo. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a ceRNA/miRNA sponge for miR-1205, thereby increasing PTBP1 expression. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
ceRNA regulation (promotes); proliferation (promotes); invasion (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; RNase R Treatment; FISH / smFISH; Clinical Sample Validation; Transfection; CCK8; Colony Formation Assay; EdU Staining; Transwell Assay; Luciferase Reporter Assay; RNA Pull-Down; RIP (RNA Immunoprecipitation); Western Blot; In Vivo Animal Model |
| Clinical significance: |
Elevated circFAM120B levels were associated with advanced TNM stage and metastasis in osteosarcoma patients. |
| Description: |
circFAM120B (hsa_circ_0078767) is up-regulated in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines and correlates with advanced TNM stage and metastasis. It promotes osteosarcoma proliferation, colony formation, invasion, and xenograft growth by sponging miR-1205 to increase PTBP1 expression (ceRNA axis). |
